Step 1
1. Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. Add 4 eggs. Add 2 cups water and stir to form a liquid batter. Do not mix the batter until completely smooth; lumps should remain. The consistency should resemble homemade cottage cheese. Let the batter rest while the water comes to a boil. Cook the batter in three batches.
