Spaetzle for Soup

Mix the flour, eggs, salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons of water into a smooth batter. Add the poppy seeds, lemon zest and finely chopped lemon balm (setting a few leaves aside for the garnish). Beat the batter until it bubbles.

Bring salt water to a boil in a large pot. 

Slice the dough into thin strips. Place in the water. Cook until the noodles float to the surface. Remove with a skimmer and drain well.
