Bring 10 cups of water to boil in a large pot on the stove or use your NInja Foodi/Instant Pot on high sear/saute. Once the water starts to simmer, add about 1 Tablespoon of salt to salt the water which will improve the flavor of the nokedli.
Mix flour and salt in a large mixing bowlAdd eggs and break up the yolks with a fork. The mixture will be very dry and crumbly. Add the sour cream and water and continue to mix with a fork until you have a smooth mixture that is thicker than pancake batter, but thinner than bread dough.
3 cups all purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons fine grain sea salt or kosher salt, 3 large eggs, 3 Tablespoons sour cream, 1 cup warm water (around 100℉/38℃)
Place plastic cutting board on top of the pot.Spread small amount of dough on the board (about 1 cup at a time) and use a bench scraper or butter knife to push thin strips into the hot boiling water.Cook until dumplings float to the top (about 30 seconds).Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a strainer. Repeat this process until all the dough is used up.
Toss with butter while warm and garnish with parsley if desired. Cover and leave at room temperature up to 30 minutes to serve warm. Refrigerate if you aren't serving them within 30 minutes.
4 Tablespoons salted or unsalted butter, 1 Tablespoon fresh or dried parsley
