Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour eggs and ¼ cup

water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon. Add enough

water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it elastic and stiff.

Using a spaetzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in

the water about 5 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles

out and drain on paper towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low

heat.
