Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 ea Eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Mound flour on a bread board and make a well in the center.
  • Drop eggs and salt into the well and add water.
  • Working from the outside mix flour into the mixture, the knead dough until well mixed.
  • Cover with warm bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half.
  • Working with half the dough at a time, roll out on floured surface until about the thickness of a pie crust.
  • Using a biscuit cutter or top of a large glass tumbler, cut into rounds.
  • Place a small spoonful of the filling slightly to one side of center.
  • Moisten edge with water, fold and crimp shut with a fork.
  • Dump into boiling water a few at a time and cook for 3 -5 minutes, or until they float. Remove and drain.

Notes

While you can hand mix the dough, a mixer with a dough hook can speed up the process. A speed of 2 on a Kitchen Aid works well and when the dough pulls off the side and clings to the hook, it's finished. The dough will be sticky, so you'll want to have flour on hand for the board. A good thickness to shoot for is a pie crust.
