Spätzle (German style egg noodles)

cups flour

1
eggs  
/4 tsp. Nutmeg (optional)  
−2 tsp. salt  
quart cold water  
Stir flour, eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Beat until batter is smooth and no longer  
adheres to the spoon. Add water as needed. The spaetzle dough can be firm enough to  
be rolled and cut into slivers or soft enough to be forced through a sieve, colander or  
spaetzle−maker with large holes.  
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. If you have a Spätzle press, press the dough  
through the press and into the boiling water. If you do not have a press, place dough on  
cutting board and roll out. Cut dough into tiny noodles. Add noodles to boiling water.  
They cook quickly and are done when they float back to the surface. As the noodles  
finish cooking, remove them with a slotted spoon.  
You can saute' the noodles in a Tbsp. of butter before serving. Other suggestions: Serve  
with a brown gravy or beef stock.  
If you don't want to use the egg yolks, use the egg whites and add some yellow food  
coloring for a nice color.
