Directions:
Place flour and salt in a bowl, Make a depression in the center of the flour and crack eggs into this all at once. Stir vigorously while slowly adding the water. Continue beating until the dough is smooth, neither stiff nor runny, using the last tbsp. of water to obtain the desired effect.

Holding bowl tipped away from you in the crook of your arm, start to scoop out tiny bits (about the size of a pea) of dough with a flat-bladed knife into a large kettle of boiling, salted water, cooking the spatzle three to four minutes.

Remove pieces with a slotted spoon into a sieve and rinse with cold water. Repeat process with remainder of dough.
These may be prepared will ahead of time and may be heated in a buttered frying pan just before serving. Pan frying them in butter makes them delicious.

Personal Notes:
What good German girl couldn't make knaeflies?? They go with everything. Ron likes them with syrup, I love them the stewed tomatoes.
