Melkkos

Description
Melkkos was served as a light supper dish, in the days when the main meal aws served in the middle of the day. It makes an interesting first course to a traditional meal. To save time, ready-made medium ribbon noodles, vermicelli or thin ribbon noodles can be used, but the dish tastes much better if you make the noodles yourself as described here.

Ingredients

 * 500 ml bread flour
 * 5 ml salt
 * 2 eggs
 * 1,5 litres milk
 * 30 ml butter
 * Cinnamon Sugar

Directions

 * 1) Sift the flour and salt together. Beat the eggs well, then add 250 ml of the milk and mix well.
 * 2) Stir in the sifted flour mixture and just enough milk to form a stiff dough. Knead until elastic, then roll the dough out thinly on a floured board.
 * 3) Sprinkle the dough with additional flour and cut into 3 mm-wide strips to make noodles. Heat the remaining milk to boiling point. Add the noodles and butter and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked.
 * 4) Ladle the melkkos into soup bowls and serve hot, sprinkled with Cinnamon Sugar.
