Before you start mixing your ingredients go ahead and put your pot of salted water on high heat to bring to a boil while you prepare the spaetzle. Once it reaches a boil reduce down to maintain a low boil.
In your medium mixing bowl whisk together your milk & eggs.
Then add in the dry ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, and herbs.
Mix well adding more milk or flour to reach the desired pancake like consistency.
Let it rest a couple minutes.
Place your spaetzle maker over your boiling pot and add in the mixture in increments making several batches. slide the top piece back and forth dropping the mixture into the boiling water.
It only takes a couple minutes and when it's all floating on top the noodles are finished. Approx. 2-3 minutes.
Use the strainer ladle to remove them from the water. I put them into a bowl with a couple T of butter and toss gently when they are all made.
