Mix flour and fine salt in a large bowl.

Form a well in the center, crack in the eggs, and add the milk.

Gently break the yolks and mix from the center outward.

Stir until you have a thick, sticky batter, then beat until bubbles form.

Set the batter aside to rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

Fill a large pot with water and add coarse salt, then bring to a boil.

Use a teaspoon to scoop and drop small portions of the dough into the boiling water.

Once the dumplings float, let them cook for another couple of minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a bowl.

Add butter to the hot dumplings and mix gently to coat.

Optionally stir in crème fraîche and top with crispy bacon, onions, or cheese.
