INGREDIENTS

3 c Flour, Unbleached
1 t Salt
1/4 t Nutmeg, optional
4 Eggs, Large Beaten
1/2 c or more Water
1/4 c Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl.  Pour eggs and 1/4 cup
water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon. Add
enough water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it  elastic
and stiff. Using a spaetzle machine or a colander with medium  holes,
press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted  water. Cook
noodles in the water about 5 minutes or until they rise  to the
surface. Lift noodles out and drain on paper towels.  Brown  noodles in
melted butter over low heat, and serve with a main dish.  Or, don't
bother browning them, and serve in/with soup, or with stew.  (Another
method for shaping the noodles is to spread the mixture on a  wooden
board and cut off little pieces, dropping them in the boiling  water
and fishing them out quickly when they're done.)  (Be prepared to write
off your first few attempts at spaetzle, by the  way.) They are very
labor-intensive, and a little miscalculation with  the time in the hot
water can ruin them.  Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V5 #012 by BobbieB1
