If you want to make them quickly, look for a spaetzle maker in your favorite kitchenware store.   Ingredients 2 large eggs, beaten 1/4 cup milk or water 1 cup all-purpose flour* 1/4 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 1 tablespoon butter or margarine Steps 1  Fill 4-quart Dutch oven half full with water; heat to boiling. In medium bowl, mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper with fork (batter will be thick). 2  Press a few tablespoons of the batter at a time through colander with 1/4-inch holes, or spaetzle maker, into boiling water.
