Spaetzle Dumplings - Toh Apr/May 07

Perfect accompaniment to Hungarian Chicken Paprikash. Tiny, tender homemade noodles...yum! (I had to add more milk to this recipe to get the correct consistency of spaetzle dough). Also, if you don't have a spaetzle maker, you can turn the bowl on it's side and with a knife cut small pieces of dough as it reaches the edge of the bowl allowing it to drop into the boiling water, cook, remove and add another batch, cook, remove....

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir the flour, eggs, milk and salt until smooth (dough will be sticky). In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Pour dough into a conlander or spaetzle maker coated with nonstick cooking spray, place over boiling water.
