Making homemade spaetzle (German-style egg noodles or little dumplings) doesn't require fancy equipment--you can use a colander. Working in batches, press the batter through a colander (with 1/8- to 1/4-inch holes) with a rubber spatula into a pot of simmering water. Or fill a squeeze bottle (with a 1/4-inch hole) with batter and squeeze it into the water in short, 1/2-inch “squirts.”
