Farfel

Farfel (Yiddish: פֿאַרפֿל, farfl; from Middle High German varveln) is small pellet or flake shaped pasta used in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. It is made from an egg noodle dough and is frequently toasted before being cooked. It can be served in soups or as a side dish. In the United States, it can also be found pre-packaged as egg barley.
