Nokedli - Hungarian Spaetzle Noodles

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the flour with the eggs, a teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of oil. Add enough water to work the dough, thoroughly mixing until you have an even, sticky mixture.

2. Boil a large pot of water. Pass the dough through a specialist dough grater, the back of a cheese grater, or a colander with large holes. Use a spatula to work the dough through the holes into the boiling water. Work in smaller batches, and remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon after a couple of minutes once they rise to the top.

3. Heat up two tablespoons of oil in a large pan and add the dumplings once you have finished the entire batch. Cook for a couple of minutes, then serve with butter or as a side dish to your chosen main.
