Home Made Dumplings

• In a large pot, add water 3/4 full and bring to a boil. Lightly salt the water .
• In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in your mixing bowl until it forms the consistency of a biscuit dough.
• Slowly add 1/4 cup of warm water and mix, adding more water a little at a time until the dough becomes a batter and reaches a consistency of a thick pancake batter.
• Once you have the consistency you need, take a teaspoon or tablespoon and start scooping the batter a little at a time into the boiling water. Try to get all of your batter out of the bowl if possible and let it boil for about 5 minutes or so. Make sure to stir frequently to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom. Your dumplings should float to the top.

  HINT: Do yourself a favor and get a spaetzle maker. They are available on Amazon and normally come with a sliding reservoir and a spider scooper that makes it so much easier!
• Once your dumplings are done, go ahead and strain in a colander and put back into the pot or a large bowl or container to serve. If you have the spider scooper, scoop the nokedli our of the boiling water and into a bowl.
• Salt and Pepper to taste!
• ENJOY!
