Sparrows without water!
Sift the flour into a bowl, then stir in the eggs and salt one at a time (using a hand mixer fitted with a dough hook). Knead for a long time to avoid lumps and ensure the dough is smooth. The dough should fall off the spoon with difficulty. If it’s too firm, add another egg; if it’s too soft, knead in a little more flour. Pour the dough into the spaetzle press and press it into boiling water. When the spaetzle float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of hot water. Then press the next portion into the water, and so on. Strain the dough. If you’re using another spaetzle-making tool (scraping board, etc.), the dough should be a little more fluid and soft! Do not add any water or milk to the dough!
