Steps:
- Whisk the flour and salt together in a bowl.
- Add the eggs and sour cream and stir the mixture to combine.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until your dough is soft, but not runny. If you are using the board and knife method, the dough should be a little firmer. If you are pressing the dough through holes, it should be loose enough to squeeze through the holes with a spatula, but not so loose that it drips through them on their own.
- When you're ready to make the Nokedli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Use one of the methods in the headnotes to form your dumplings and drop them into the boiling water. Do this in relatively small batches, or you will end up with some dumplings that are overcooked. When you're done adding the dumplings, give them about 30 seconds after they float to the surface to ensure they are cooked.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl as they cook, and cover the bowl to keep them warm. Serve the Nokedli tossed with butter, or a little olive oil to keep them from sticking together.

HUNGARIAN DUMPLINGS (NOKEDLI)
Hungarian Dumplings, known as Nokedli or Galuska in Hungary, are the perfect side to serve with my Chicken Paprikash or other hearty stews. Easy to prepare with only 4 pantry ingredients, they're rustic in appearance, but delicate in flavor. Nokedli are basically a small, lighter version of egg noodles!

Steps:
- Bring around 3 quarts water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt.
- While waiting for the water to boil, make the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir in flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Batter should be sticky, but still a bit loose. You may not need to use all the flour.
- Form dumplings by pressing 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter through a dumpling maker (the large holes on a flat cheese grater, a colander with medium/large holes, or a slotted spoon will also work) directly into the boiling water. Cook for around 2 to 3 minutes. All of the dumplings should have floated to the top of the water.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked dumplings from boiling water, place in a colander and rinse under cold water. Place cooked dumplings in a medium bowl and gently toss with the oil (to keep them from sticking together).
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately.

- Let mixture rest for about 10 mins.
- Beat mixture again.
- Using the side of a teaspoon, spoon small amount of dough into boiling water.
- Dipping the spoon in the hot water will remove the dough from the spoon (if you have a spaetzel maker, that makes is easier as you want very small noodles).

- Rinse with cold water.
- You may want to make the dumplings in 2 or 3 batches so they dont overcook.
