2 eggs
1/2 c. cold water
1 tsp. salt
2 c. flour (all-purpose)
Boiling water
Butter

Break eggs into a bowl, add cold water, salt and mix together. Add enough flour to make a medium stiff dough. Let it set while the water comes to a boil.

Place dough on small paddle type board, cut off small pieces with a table knife (dipped in hot water to avoid sticking), dropping dough into the boiling water. Boil gently until noodle like dumplings rise to top of water.
