That would do it. I have one of those special spaetzle gizmos with the
hopper that slides back and forth over the grate. They can also be
sliced. I remember Emeril, or maybe it was Mario, making them by
rolling them out and cutting them into squares and diamonds. My friend's
mother used a stiffer batter and would put it on a board hanging over
the boiling water and slice off thin strips and they would fall into the
water.
