Spaetzle: German Egg Noodles Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Combine flour, eggs, butter and salt. Add enough water to make a batter the consistency of light cookie dough. Beat well until some air bubbles develop. Let the batter rest. Batter should be like cookie batter, not too stiff.
  • 2. Prepare a large pot with salted water. Bring to a boil. Scrape thin rolls, or thin slices, of batter from a chopping board or run the batter through a sieve or spaetzle maker into the boiling water.
  • 3. Remove cooked spaetzle from the boiling water with a strainer and serve immediately or place in warm water if you are using the noodles soon but not immediately, or place noodles in very cold water if you will be refrigerating or freezing them.
  • Garnish with a little parsley or add a dollop of Sour Cream, Hollandaise sauce, butter, etc See Photo. Is pasta, Amigo.
  • Do yourself a favor (if you like it) & get a spaetzle maker See Photo. I pressed them through a sieve a few times but that’s a cramp.
