as they should be

Crack eggs into a bowl. Make a batter with flour and salt. The batter should be smooth. It’s best to beat until it bubbles. Finely chop the onion and fry in the butter over a moderate heat until golden brown. Grate the batter into boiling salted water using a spaetzle grater. Bring the water with the Knöpfle to a boil briefly. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, lift some of the spaetzle out of the water. Drain the water and place the spaetzle in a prepared bowl. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top, then add another layer with some of the spaetzle. Repeat this process until all is used. Mix well with two spoons. Sprinkle the hot, golden onions over the butter. Please use only butter! A cold Bavarian beer goes well with this.
