Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1 tsp salt 2 large eggs to 1 cup water Directions: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add eggs. Mix well. Slowly add water to make
a smooth and firm dough. Let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Push the dough through the biggest holes
of a cheese grater into the boiling water.
The dumplings will float when they are done.
Remove them with a slotted spoon. Serve with diced bacon or fried onions.
You can also toss them with shredded cheese. Enjoy!
