I add a bit of salt.
My MIL is now in a nursing home, but when she was still in her own home and cooking, it was unreal to watch her make homemade spaetzle.
First she made sure she had a very large stock pot full of boiling water.
Then she would make the dough. She just put her flour and egg and a bit of salt in a bowl, just went by feel, no recipe. She beat the ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Then she dumped the mixture on a wooden cutting board.
Next, she got a knife. Then she held the cutting board with the dough over the pot of boiling water and with the knife, very quickly cut off small portions of dough that dropped into the water. She was so quick, probably 2 pieces of spaetzle a second, and almost every piece of spaetzle was the same size.
