Homemade ravioli

Nutrax, how large is the sifter supposed to be?? Might try it one day and use my ravioi cutter which I still haven't worked out how to use, though the pasta/spagetti cutter works great.

Just guessing from pasta making generally, and from standard American sifters, I would say 4 cups for 4 eggs, 1 pound, c. 450 grams.

I own Nonni's sifter. It looks a lot like this and holds 5 cups. However, I looked up a lot of ravioli recipes. Those that call for 4 eggs say "3 cups flour" and 1.5 teaspoons salt.

Just for the sake of being a bit persnickety, how large is an American cup? (yes I know I can google it, but it's more fun this way)
and Nutrax, that sifter of yours doesn't look big enough to hold 5 cups, unless of course they are wee little cups...

Trying this for the third time. My posts keep disappearing into the void.

1 US cup - 250 ml for all practical purposes. 4 cups = 1 US quart = 1.06 liters.

I would start with 350 grams of flour for four eggs and add flour until it came right.

Thanks for that last sentence VinnyD, makes it less confusing when you quote in grams :)
