Mix together water and eggs, add to dry ingredients. Beat dough until smooth and shiny. The dough should be the consistency of thick sour cream. It may be necessary to add more liquid or flour to get the right consistency. Drop a tsp of batter into boiling water to make sure dumplings will be firm. If it falls apart keep adding flour until dough remains firm during cooking.

Personal Notes:
They are good cooked in a chicken broth and served with gravy. Remember when "Mom" Gneiting made htses putting the dough on a cutting board and cutting the dough into the pot of boiling water.When her son Chuch and his family (6 children) came to dinner this was a LOT of noodles. A spaetzle machine made it much easier.
