Ingredients

For the Rahm Sauce

▢ 100 g butter
▢ 60 ml water
▢ 300 ml heavy cream

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Create a small well in the center, add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, then slowly pour in ⅓ cup (100 ml) water, stirring as you go.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Roll the dough into a thin sheet, about ⅛ inch (3–4 mm) thick. Spread 3 tablespoons softened butter evenly over the surface.
Roll the dough up tightly, then cut it into 1-inch rounds to form the noodles.
Melt 7 tablespoons (100 g) butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) water and stir to combine.
Add the noodles to the pan, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, until golden and crispy on one side. Flip them and cook for another 4 minutes, until golden on the other side.
Pour in 1¼ cups (300 ml) heavy cream and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the rahm sauce thickens slightly and coats the noodles.
Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

Knead the Dough Well: I like to knead the dough until it feels smooth and elastic. It makes the noodles easier to roll and gives them a better bite after cooking.

Roll the Dough Evenly: Try to keep the dough the same thickness all over. This helps the noodle rounds cook at the same pace.

Keep the Heat Medium-Low: I don’t rush this part. Medium-low heat helps the noodles turn golden and crispy without burning the butter.

Let the Cream Simmer Gently: Once I add the cream, I let it bubble gently until the rahm sauce thickens and coats the noodles nicely.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like reheating them gently with a small splash of cream.
