My Dad was Hungarian, so I decided to make foods from my childhood using my 102 year old grandma’s recipe! @ryanthomasroth Comment for any other recipes!

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, flour, 4 tablespoons of oil, and salt. 2. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms a thick, sticky mass. 3. Add ½ cup water to start, mixing well. 4. Continue adding small amounts of water until the batter resembles thick pancake batter—soft enough to drop through a “spaetzle maker” (found on Amazon), but not runny. 5. Use the batter right away or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cook the Nokedli 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (about ⅔ full). 2. Place the spaetzle maker (from on Amazon) on top of the pot. 3. Spoon some batter into the grate, about a 1-cup measuring cup) and slide scraper back and forth over the holes, letting the dumplings fall into the boiling water until batter is all through. 4.

Continue cooking batches and add each new batch to the bowl, tossing to combine.
