1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 tbsp. oil

Mix flour, salt and add egg. Stir to make a stiff dough, sprinkling on a few drops of cold water if necessary. Knead until smooth. Let dough rest for 30 minutes. Then flatten it a bit at a time between your floured palms, and pinch off pieces slightly smaller than a dime. Drop them into rapidly boiling water and cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and rinse. Stir into stew or soup.
