  1. Place the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the water, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the flour with a rubber spatula. Mix well.
  2. Put a large quantity of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add salt. Pour the spatzle mixture into a colander over the boiling water. Press the mixture through the holes of the colander with a rubber spatula or a large spoon. Cook briefly or until the noodles rise to the surface. Drain well. The spatzle could be made in advance.
