Add 2 cups flour to a stand mixer bowl.

Add 3 large eggs to the mixture and mix on medium-low setting until well combined.

Slowly add 1 cup of filtered or sparkling water while mixing.

Mix well until the batter is smooth and shiny, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-low setting.

Let the batter rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat a gallon of water in a large pot and add 1.5 tablespoons salt to the boiling water.

Add about 1/3 of the batter to the spaetzle maker at a time.

Wait until the spaetzle float to the top, then let them cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Scoop the spaetzle out with a mesh skimmer or slotted spoon into a strainer or a pan with melted butter.
