How do I make spaetzle?

Spaetzle

3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter

Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour eggs and 1/4 cup water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon. Add enough water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keep it elastic and stiff. Using a spaetzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in the water about 5 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out and drain on paper towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat, or serve with gravy.
