Spaetzle

Beat eggs until foamy then combine with milk. Mix together flour and salt. Add to eggs and milk a little at a time. The dough will be very stiff and elastic.

Fill the square basket of the Spaetzle Maker and place over a pot of boiling water or cooking soup. As you slide the basket back and forth, the tiny dumplings drop into the boiling liquid.

When done, they will rise to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Use a large slotted spoon to strain them out into a large covered bowl. Repeat the process until all of the dough is used up.

If the Spaetzle has become too cool during the process, put the covered bowl in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds or to desired temperature. Lightly butter and salt to taste and serve in place of noodles, rice or potatoes.
