4 eggs (or more)
½ egg-shell of water for each egg used.
Enough flour to make a thick batter
A pinch of salt
|
Spätzle tools
Here are some Spätzle tools If you don't have one you can make your own by drilling a hole in an Aluminum pan like we did here, use a colander, or just pinch the dough with your fingers or 2 spoons.
|
| Crack the eggs into the bowl. fill half an egg shell with water and add, repeat 4 times. mix well |
 |
| Beat until smooth. We are about halfway done here |
 |
| Add the flour mix ...until you have a smooth tight batter but not like bread dough. As you can see here...it is still loose, but it leaves ripples As you stir it. |
 |
We are ready to cook the spaetzle.
You will need a pan of boiing salted water.
Add a small amount of batter |
 |
Push the dough through the holes of the pan with the wooden spoon into the boiling water.
Repeat this with the remaining spaetzle batter. |
 |
Cook the spaetzle at least for 5 minutes after you have pushed all the dough through.
The spaetzles will float when they are done. |
|
Drain the Spaetzles, rinse out the pan, then add 1 stick of butter and melt it on medium heat
I then add 3/4 Cup bread crumbs.
Brown the bread crumbs slightly |
 |
| Add the spaetzles and cook them for a few minutes on medium heat with the butter and crumbs. This browns them just slightly and the butter and crumbs are absorbed into the spaetzle. |
 |
| Serve with Roasts, or stews like a Goulash |
