Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and water until well combined.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
While the water is boiling, place a colander or spaetzle maker over the pot.
Scoop a portion of the batter into the colander or spaetzle maker and use a spatula or spoon to press the batter through the holes into the boiling water.
Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the dumplings to a serving dish.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the spaetzle dumplings with your favorite sauce, gravy, or as a side dish to accompany meats and stews.
