Spaetzle

We love Spaeztle around here. It is quick and easy, especially if you have a spaeztle maker. Mine is an old one that was given to me by a German friend. I recommend one of the sturdy German models if you are planning on purchasing one.
You can find them on Amazon here.


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.

I make what my mother called nockerln. It is the same thing as spaeztle except that I take a teaspoon of batter and drop it in, and I use milk rather than water. I love this with Hungarian Goulash. My mom did not have a recipe other than just flour, milk, and egg and stir it until it looks right. What nice memories you brought back.

I've never had Hungarian Goulash, hint, hint. I used milk in place of water once with the spaetzle too when I was trying a different recipe- it is also very good. Thanks for sharing!
