Spatzle (Tiny Dumplings) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 eggs
1 cup milk
butter

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and nutmeg.
Break eggs into flour mixture and mix with a fork, then slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
In a large saucepan bring 2 quarts of water , with a pinch of salt, to a boil.
If you do not have a spatzle cutter, place a colander with very large holes over the pot of water and with a spoon press dough through the colander directly into the boiling water.
Stir to keep the spatzle from sticking together.
Cook about 5-8 minutes, or until tender.
Toss with butter and serve.
