<p>The first time I had spaetzle, I was working at a country club and Bruno, the Swiss chef, made it for the buffet; I still love it. I added dill to my version, which gives a nice herbal flavor.</p>
<p>• 3 cups all-purpose flour <br />
• 1?3 cup finely chopped fresh dill <br />
• 1 tablespoon salt, divided <br />
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />
• 1?2 cup cold water<br />
• 1 gallon water<br />
• 2 tablespoons butter<br />
<br />
1. In a bowl, combine flour, dill and 1 teaspoon salt.<br />
<br />
2. Mix eggs and ½ cup cold water. Add to dry ingredients and mix until dough is smooth.<br />
<br />
3. In a large kettle, bring 4 quarts water and remaining 2 teaspoons salt to a boil. Reduce heat.<br />
<br />
4. With a rubber scraper, press dough through a colander or a spaetzle maker into simmering water.<br />
<br />
5. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently so the spaetzle do not stick together. Drain. <br />
<br />
6. In skillet, melt butter and stir in spaetzle to coat.</p>
