Gradually add 100 ml water while stirring the eggs into the flour with a wooden spoon until you get a thick, sticky dough.

Using a wooden spoon, beat the dough vigorously until bubbles form. This should take about 5-8 min.

The dough should be elastic and smooth but not too runny.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Place a spätzle maker or a colander with large holes over the pot.

Push the dough through the holes using a spatula or spoon, so small pieces fall into the boiling water.

When the Spätzle float to the top (after about 2-3 min), they are cooked.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
