Instructions
Mix flour, eggs, water and salt until a dough is formed.
Beat this dough until it bubbles.
Then let the dough rest in a bowl covered for 30 minutes.
To cook, first bring water to the boil with a little salt in a large enough pot.
Put some of the dough on a spaetzle board and quickly scrape small pieces with a sharp knife directly into the boiling water. You can also use a latex scraper for this. Repeat this until the dough is all gone.
The spaetzle are ready when they rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly.
