In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, water, and salt until the batter bubbles. Grate the batter into boiling water. Bring the resulting spaetzle to a boil briefly and then skim off the excess liquid with a slotted spoon. Add layers of spaetzle, grated cheese, salt, and pepper to taste to a preheated baking dish. Don’t mix the layers. Place the dish in a preheated oven (250°C) with top heat for about 15 minutes, until the cheese (top layer) is golden brown. Before serving, sprinkle the golden-brown onions and butter over the pasta. Serve with a green salad.
