Mix 1.5 cups flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Add 3 egg yolks and 3 whole eggs to the flour mixture.

Stir the mixture with a spoon and assess the consistency.

Add a little water to the mixture, keeping some aside in case more is needed.

Switch to a hand mixer with dough hooks to mix the batter until the right consistency is achieved.

Prepare a large pot of liberally salted water on a slow boil.

Oil the Spätzle maker lightly to prevent sticking.

Place the dough into the Spätzle maker and drip it into the boiling water.

Work quickly to avoid the dough setting up like cement.

Cook the Spätzle until they float to the surface, which indicates they are done, about a few minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked Spätzle from the water.
