1 teaspoon                          salt

and stir to dissolve. Add warm milk mixture and beaten egg;
blend well.

smooth. Mix in additional flour about 1/2 cup at a time until a soft
dough forms. The dough should be soft and sticky but not stick to

until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. If you need
