Spaetzle (German egg noodles)

These are tiny noodles or dumplings and are usually served as a side dish with a sauce or gravy.

2 Large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper

1. Mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper (batter will be thick, but wet)
2. Fill large pot 1/2 full of water and heat to boiling.
3. Press a few tablespoons of batter with a spoon at a time through a colander or a cheese grater (that's what I use)
4. cook about 5 minutes or until spaetzle rise to the surface, then drain and put into a bowl till you finish pressing the whole batch of dough through the colander.
