Traditional southern German recipe for home made egg noodles. Perfect side dish for any meat dish with good sauce or gravy, and excellent as pan fried leftovers.
Mix together the flour, eggs, and salt, and add water until you have a firm dough. Depending on the size of the eggs and consistency of the dough, you may need more or less water. You should mix the dough until small bubbles begin to form.
Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water. Put the dough through a ricer, letting the dough fall into the boiling water. Instead of a ricer, you can also make small blobs of dough using a knife by placing the dough on a cutting board.
Cook the spätzle in the boiling water until the rise to the top, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in the oven to keep warm. Add a little butter to the warming pan to keep them moist.
