Drop Noodles(Spaetzle)

Sift together flour and salt.

Beat together egg and water. Add flour mixture; stir until smooth (batter should be very thick).

Bring to a boil 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoon salt. Spoon batter into boiling water by 1/2 teaspoon, dipping spoon into water each time.

Cook only one layer of noodles at a time. After noodles rise to the surface, boil gently for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from water and place in warm bowl.

Toss with melted butter or serve with gravy.
