Begin by sifting the flour, baking powder, salt, ground pepper, and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until combined.

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the beaten eggs and milk. Gently mix until just combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce heat and drop teaspoon-sized portions of the dough into the simmering water.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the dumplings float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Melt butter in the pot, then add the cooked dumplings, tossing until heated through. Serve warm.
