Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour eggs and 1/4 cup water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon.

Using a spätzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in the water until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out, put them shortly under fresh (warm) water and drain them in a sifter. If you like, you can brown them in melted butter over low heat

Prepare noodles as described. Cook peeled potatoes in hearty beef broth together with beef and eventually the vegetables until tender. Cut potatoes and beef into small cubes. Put together with noodles into broth. Can be served with onions roasted in butter.
