Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.

Mix 1 cup of flour, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth.

If the batter is too thin, add a couple of tablespoons of flour; if too thick, add a little milk.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Use a spätzle maker to press the batter into the boiling water.

Cook until the spätzle float to the surface, then scoop them out and set aside in a bowl.

Preheat a pan over medium-low heat and melt butter.

Add diced garlic and cook until soft and slightly colored.

Pour the garlic butter sauce over the cooked spätzle and mix well.
