Swiss Kneffle (Swiss Noodles Aka German Spaetzles) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour, unbleached
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
milk

Preparation

Sift together the flour, salt & baking powder.
Beat the eggs well.
Gradually add the flour mixture a little at a time until well mixed. Batter will be stiff.
Add the milk, a little at a time until batter is smooth. The batter should be the thickness of pancake batter.
Fill a large kettle with water & bring to a boil. The water should be heavily salted.
Carefully, tip the bowl over the kettle & using a butter knife, cut the batter into the salted water. (NOTE: You can also press the batter through the holes of a colander with the back of a spoon.).
Cut or press through a few at a time until they float to the top.
Remove noodles with a slotted spoon onto an oven-proof platter. (You can keep them warm in a 250\u00b0 oven until finished.).
Repeat steps 7 & 8 until batter is all gone.
When done, pour melted butter over the top. Top with some bread crumbs, if desired. These are great when mixed with sauerkraut, too!
ENJOY!
