* Nouilles are a kind of vermicelli prepared in the following manner:—Place six ounces
of sifted flour upon a marble slab or paste-board; make a well in the centre, by spreading
the flour out in the form of a ring, with the back of the hand; then put therein a little
salt, and add a teaspoonful of water, to moist it; after which add the yolks of five eggs,
and knead the whole well together into a firm, smooth, compact paste; and after allowing
it to rest for ten minutes, roll it out as thin as paper, and then divide the paste into bands three
inches wide, cut these into very fine shreds and spread them upon a large sieve to dry.
