Spatzle (Spaetzle Noodles)

Servings: 4

3 c Flour; unbleached 1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Nutmeg 4 Eggs; large, beaten
1/4 c 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 large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in the water
about 5 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out and
drain on paper towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat.
