1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup coarsely chopped spinach leaves
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh chives

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Stir together flour and salt. Whisk together eggs and milk, then whisk into flour until batter is smooth.

    Step 2

    Working over boiling water, force one third of batter through a spaetzle maker or large holes of a food mill. As dumplings float to surface, transfer them to bowl of cold water with a slotted spoon. Make 2 more batches in same manner. Drain dumplings well and toss with oil. Pulse dill, spinach, chives, and 1 tablespoon butter in a food processor until a paste forms. Heat remaining tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté dumplings, stirring, until golden. Add herb butter and sauté, stirring, until dumplings are coated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
