Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the eggs, 1/2C water and salt with a
fork in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir
until a sticky dough forms. Add more water if
the dough is too thick to stir with a fork.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Put the dough into the holder of the spaetzle
maker and quickly rub back and forth to press
the dough through the holes. Let the water
return to a boil. The spaetzle will rise to the
top when they are about done. This will take
about one minute, then skim them out of
the water and into a serving bowl. Repeat
with the remaining dough.
*You can also use a tin can and press the
dough through the holes in the can.
You can also serve spaetzle with
a little butter, salt and pepper.
Leftover spaetzle can be heated in the
microwave or sauteed in a little butter
