For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding the spaetzle. Be careful not to burn it!
If you don't have a spaetzle maker, a colander or grater works just fine. Ensure the holes are large enough to allow the dough to pass through easily.
Cooked spaetzle can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a little butter or oil.
Try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
For a complete meal, serve with a hearty beef stew or roasted vegetables.

    My spaetzle were a bit sticky at first, but they browned up nicely in the butter. Will definitely make this again!

    I added a little bit of garlic powder to the dough, and it gave the spaetzle a delicious savory flavor.
