okay my great grandmother liked to make spaetzle. she just used one egg, a little bit of water and enough flour to make it like a pancake batter. when your chicken is done and boiling, just pour the spaetzle batter into the boiling stew, cutting off sections with a butter knife as you pour. i add a little baking powder and salt to my batter. i don't have exact measurements, i generally go by the size of the egg.
