3 cup Flour -- unbleached
1 teaspoon Salt

4 Eggs; large -- beaten
1/4 cup Butter

Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour eggs and 1/4 cup water
into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon. Add enough water to
make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it elastic and stiff. Using a
spaetzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a

minutes or until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out and drain on paper
towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat.
