Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¾ cup flour
7 eggs
5 ounces milk (or more)
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsps butter
some vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
chives or sliced green onion (garnish)

Steps:

1. Add the flour, melted butter, 3 eggs and a pinch of salt into a large pot and mix well with the milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and not thick; add more milk if necessary.
2. In a large pot bring salted water to boil. Using a spaezle slicer, let the batter drip directly into the boiling water or the dumplings may stick together.
3. As soon as the dumplings float to the top, drain them and rinse them in cold water. Drizzle a few drops of oil over the dumplings and stir well to prevent sticking.
4. Put the remaining butter in a pan to melt then toss the dumplings in the butter.
5. Season the 4 eggs with salt, pepper and nutmeg, mixing well. Pour the eggs over the dumplings and cook for two minutes only.
6. Serve the egg dumplings garnished with the chives.
