Erişte

Erişte are traditional Turkish egg noodles made from flour, eggs, milk, semolina, and salt. They are typically made in late summer or early fall in order to dry more easily. The name erişte is derived from a Persian word meaning strips.

In the past, this pasty variety was made by groups of women who would divide the tasks–some would prepare the dough, some would knead, some would roll it, while the other would cut and dry the noodles.
