For Spaeztle you will need:
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-3/4 cup hot water  

A saucepan with boiling water
slotted spoon

Mix the flour, eggs, and salt together.   Slowly add the hot water until it becomes a heavy sticky dough.

Squeeze through the spaetzle  maker in batches into boiling water.  When the spaetzle float to the top scoop them out with the strainer, being sure to drain them well.  

If I am going to serve this with Beef Stroganoff  I place them immediately into a covered casserole as each batch comes out of the boiling water.


Variations:

Add a little spice to this dish.  To the flour, eggs and salt  add 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and a dash of pepper.

Many years ago a German friend had us over for dinner.  She not only prepared us a delicious meal from her mother's recipes she shared her recipes with me. Beef Stroganoff served over spaetzle has been a family favorite ever since.  

Now that my sons are heading out on their own they are asking for my recipes so that they can prepare their favorites themselves.  Though not a pretty dish for a photograph, it makes up for itself with flavor.

We have served this over packaged egg noodles and toasted bread, but our favorite is with homemade spaeztle.   Hope you enjoy.  Zum Wohl.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 small onion, minced
