Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add the egg yolk and enough cold water to make a stiff dough. Knead thoroughly. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it stand for 30 minutes. Sprinkle a board and rolling pin with additional flour. Roll out the dough until it is paper-thin. Fold the dough into a long, loose roll and cut it crosswise into strips, 1/10 inch wide.
