Ingredients:
250g flour
2 eggs
water, to bind
Method:
Prepare the noodles by beating together the flour, eggs and salt. Add just enough lukewarm water to form a firm dough. Traditionally this beating is done with a wooden spoon and the dough is judged ready when it tears when you pull the spoon up and out of the dough. Transfer a small amount of the dough onto a wet wooden (or plastic) chopping-board.
Bring a pan of salted water to a rapid boil then scrape thin stripes of the dough into a pot. Do not boil too many Spaetzle at once. The Spaetzle are cooked when they rise on the surface of the liquid. Take them out at this point with a skimming ladle then drain in a sieve and keep warm in a warmed bowl.
