6 whole eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 to 3/4 cup water

The best way to measure out the ingredients is to say you will need equal amounts of egg and flour. For instance 1 cup of eggs to 1 cup of flour. Mix eggs, flour, salt and nutmeg together. Add water gradually until batter is stiff but smooth. Using a perforated pan and the ball of your hand, push batter through holes into boiling salted water.

There should only be one layer of Sp tzle at a time in the cooking water. Stir the Sp tzle with a spoon so that they do not stick together. Cook noodles for about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove Sp tzle from water with a perforated spoon and place in a bowl if iced water to ensure not to overcook the noodles. To reheat Sp tzle, saut in a little butter and season before serving.

Use caution when cooking this dish, Make sure that the perforated pan can rest securely over the pan of boiling water.
