Ingredients (6)

serves

2 cups All-purpose Flourflour
1 Teaspoon Saltsalt
3 Eggsegg
1/3 cup Water (almost 1/3 cup in measurement)water
Waterwater
2 Teaspoons Saltsalt

Instructions (9 steps)

01In a mixing bowl combine the flour and the salt. Create a mold in the center and add the eggs and the water.
02Mix the whole content and beat to a smooth dough. The end result should be a tough flexible dough.
03Preferably let the dough rest for 30 minutes, if you are in a hurry just move on.
04Keep a large pot filled with water and salt to boil. Take down the heat once it starts bubbling.
05If you use a Spaetzle maker, wet your device first with hot water so that the dough doesn't stick that much. Place it on the pot and keep your spatula ready. Add a small batch of dough to the Spaetzle maker and scrape the dough through the wholes into the pot. Do that first with one half of the whole dough. You need to work quickly. Once you did one batch, check the downside of your spaetzle maker to scrape off any dough that got stuck.
