1/2 cup water
4 tsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. sugar (optional)
pinch salt

In a saucepan, heat water and stir in butter. Bring to a boil and while stirring, sprinkle in flour and sugar; keep stirring all the while so that lumps don't form. Stir until mixture no longer clings to the side of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5-7 minutes, then add eggs and stir briskly with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Return to stove and heat on lowest setting for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. When soup is boiling drop with a teaspoon into soup and let dumplings boil in covered soup pot for 20 minutes.
