Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, eggs, water, and salt.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or a fork until the mixture forms a thick, sticky dough.
Step 3
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Step 4
Spoon portions of the dough onto a cutting board or into a nokedli or spaetzle maker, and press or cut small pieces into the boiling water.
Step 5
Allow the nokedli to cook in boiling water until they float to the surface, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6
Once they float, let them cook for an additional minute, then use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them in a bowl.
Step 7
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and toss the cooked nokedli in the butter until they are coated well.
Step 8
Serve the nokedli warm as a side dish with your favorite paprikash or stews.
