- Then stir in the flour. Whisk vigorously till you get a smooth mixture.
- The batter should be neither too thick nor too runny.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Press batter through anything with holes into the water. You may also use spaetzle press, colander or a slotted spoon. When the spaetzle has floated to the top of the water, remove it to a colander.
- Give it a quick rinse with cold water. Drizzle olive oil, just a small amount to help prevent them from sticking.
