Step 1

Add the flour to a medium-sized mixing bowl and make a little well (or a mini volcano) in the middle.

Step 2

Add the eggs and the salt to the flour and give everything a stir with a wooden spoon or your electric mixer. Now slowly pour in the water while mixing vigorously until the dough has a lump-free, elastic consistency. When you roll the wooden spoon in the batter, you should be able to create air bubbles as a result of the sticky yet smooth consistency. Another way to tell that the batter has the right consistency is when it drips off the spoon very slowly.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat so that the water is simmering.

Step 4

Now, spoon portions of the Spaetzle batter onto your spaetzle grater/maker and scrape the batter through into the boiling water. The spaetzle will float to the top when they are done. This takes around 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the little dumplings with a large straining spoon and place them into a different bowl. Repeat the steps until you have used up all the batter. Enjoy!
