Ingredients List
- 3 c Flour; Unbleached
- 1 ts Salt
- 1/4 ts Nutmeg (optional)
- 4 Eggs; Large, Beaten
- 1/2 c (or more) Water
- 1/4 c Butter
Directions
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.)
