Sure. Flour, fat and water. Lol, I’ll go see if I can find something of substance to give you. BBL
OK - I don’t have a written one, but here are a few I would use next time I make them. I forgot about the eggs, duh!
I always put nutmeg in mine and like I said, I use a regular flat cheese grater with the big holes, but it seems lots of folks use colanders with big holes in them. I hadn’t thought of that; might try it some time.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil, reduce the heat, and maintain a simmer. In a bowl, stir all the ingredients together. Place a colander over the pan, pour about 1/4 of the batter into the colander, and press through the holes with a plastic spatula into the hot water. When the spaetzle starts to float to float to the surface, cover the pan and keep covered until the spaetzle appears to swell and is fluffy.
