2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. water

Mix together flour and salt, add the beaten eggs and water. Mix with wooden spoon until smooth and stretchy. May need a little more water. Using a Spaetzle press, push through about 1 cup of dough at a time into boiling water; they will rise to the top. Boil slowly for about 3 minutes, one layer at a time.

Using slotted spoon lift out of water, put in a strainer and run cold water over them. Do not let stand in water.

Melt 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter; add 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs or diced onions. Mix with the Spaetzle. Sprinkle top with a few bread crumbs. Serve warm.

Can be sauteed with a few onions and butter and served the next day.
