German Spaetzle

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. water

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat well. Put dough on a plate and cut off small slivers of dough into pot of boiling water with salt. Cook for about 15 minutes, remove with slotted spoon and keep warm until all the dough has been used. Drain, then brown bread crumbs in butter and pour over the Spaetzle. This dish can be used as a side dish instead of potatoes.
