Lapsha is a traditional Russian dish that has been around for centuries. Its rich and buttery flavor makes it a staple in many Russian households, and it is often served with meat stews and soups. While the recipe may seem daunting, making noodles from scratch is a satisfying experience that is well worth the effort. The key to a successful lapsha recipe is to work with a light hand and let the dough rest properly.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine boiling water, melted butter, and salt.
2.	Crack eggs and beat them into the mixture.
3.	Stir in flour until a dough forms.
4.	Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes.
5.	Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
6.	Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll each part into a thin sheet.
7.	Cut the sheets into thin noodles.
8.	Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
9.	Add the noodles to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes.
10.	Drain the noodles and serve hot with your favorite sauce or garnish.
