Mix the flour, eggs, and salt and beat the dough until it bubbles. The dough should be quite firm; add a little more flour if necessary. Let it rest for 1/2 hour, then stir in the very finely diced bacon and the finely chopped onion. Use a wet teaspoon to scoop out dumplings from the dough and drop them into the very hot, but not boiling, meat broth. Let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes. You can also simmer the green dumplings in salted water; brown the onions in butter, then pour them over the green dumplings and serve with a green salad.
