Hilopites (alternatively hylopites or Chylopites) (, ) are a traditional Greek pasta made from flour, eggs, milk, and salt. They take the form of long thin strips or, in some regions, small squares (sometimes called by different names).
The pasta is traditionally made by rolling the dough out in to a thin sheet, dusting with flour, and slicing twice: first into thin fettuccine-like strips, then again into small squares. While commercially produced hilopites are generally around traditional homemade hilopites are often made much larger.
