Steps

  1. Start by adding the eggs to a bowl.
  2. Add salt and nutmeg (if using) to the egg mixture, stirring until dissolved.
  3. Gradually add flour to the eggs while mixing. The goal is to achieve a fluid, creamy dough consistency that is not dry or sturdy.
  4. If the dough becomes too thick, add water to adjust the texture. If watching cholesterol, you can replace some of the egg with water.
  5. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow it to smoothen up.
