Spatzle

Spatzle

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups flour
4 eggs
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 to 10 Tablespoons water

TO PREPARE:

Mix the flour, eggs, nutmeg and salt in a bowl with a
wooden spoon. Add the water gradually, stirring until
mixed; dough should be thick and stretchy.
Place a small amount of the dough on a damp wooden board;
cut into slivers with a knife.
Drop the dough slivers in small batches into boiling water
in a stockpot. Cook until the spatzle floats to the
surface; remove with a slotted spoon to a heated bowl.
Repeat the process in batches with the remaining dough.
May be served plain with butter and parsley or in your
favorite sauce.
