• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Add the eggs and gradually mix in the water until a thick, sticky batter forms.
3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
5. Using a nokedli maker, spaetzle maker, or a spoon, drop small portions of batter into the boiling water.
6. Cook for 2–4 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
8. Toss with a little oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
