1 Boil a large pot of water.

2 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine milk, eggs, salt and pepper.  Once blended, slowly stir in the flour until the mixture becomes a soft batter.

3 Place a colander with large holes over the pot and press small amounts of the batter through the holes directly into the water using a rubber spatula.

4 As the spaetzl rises to the surface of the water, use a slotted spoon to transfer to a serving dish.

5 Mix margarine with your favorite herbs and salt and pepper and mix in with the hot spaetzl.
