• Extrude the batter through a spaetzle maker into boiling salted water. Cook for about 5 minutes or until all the spaetzle floats.

• For breadcrumbs- melt butter in a small skillet or fry pan and add bread crums, stir occasionally until crumbs are browned and smell toasty.
• Soup version- extrude spaetzle directly into boiling soup.
