Funnily enough the latter is also used by Aperol in their recipe for Aperol Spritz on their bottles. At least they provide a picture of what the “right colour” is supposed to be.
My grandma’s recipe for Spätzle (egg-based noodles) is: “You start with the amount of eggs you need for the amount of people, add a bit of water, a pinch of salt and then flour until it has the right consistency.” Her recipe for pancakes is basically the same.
