Olive oil offers healthier fats.

cheese

In a one-gallon zippered bag, mix the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.

Pour into the plastic bag and knead it until mixed.

Boil about a gallon of water in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.

Cut the tip of the plastic bag, and squeeze the dumplings into the simmering water.

The dumplings will sink to the bottom of the pot.

Once done, the dumplings will float towards the surface.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings into a frying pan.

Add the butter, and saute the spaetzle, reaching a golden brown color.
