2 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder

To be used later:

1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. butter

Beat the eggs. Combine them with the remaining ingredients. Beat well. Drop small bits of the batter from a spoon into simmering salted water or place on a plate and cut shreds of the batter with a knife from the side of the plate into the water or put the batter through a colander.

Spaetzle should be very light and delicate. Try out a sample and if it is too heavy add water to the batter. Simmer until they are done. Drain them and place in a dish and cover with 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup butter.
