Ingredients
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Salad oil
Confectioners' sugar

1. In medium-sized bowl, mix eggs, sugar, milk, salt, and 1 cup flour until well blended. Stir in remaining flour. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough, one-half at a time, until paper thin.
