Ingredients

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or parsley

Preparation

Beat eggs lightly and stir in remaining ingredients.

Bring a pan of salted water to a simmer. Drop tiny spoonfuls of batter into water. Simmer until dumplings are tender and rise to the surface, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove dumplings from water with a slotted spoon and set aside until ready to serve; reheat in consomme.
