German Spaetzle Recipe

1. 1

   Fill a large pot with water and keep it at a boil.

2. 2

   Stir flour, eggs, and salt together in a bowl.

3. 3

   Add water slowly while stirring the mixture together.

4. 4

   Stir until it becomes a thick, bubbly, paste (you made need to add some more water or flour), similar to a pancake mixture.

5. 5

   Slowly scrape parts of the mixture into a oiled Spaetzle maker over the boiling pot of water, it is good to have someone helping you with this.

6. 6

   Do not cook the whole mixture at one time. The noodles cook fast and the water would be too overcrowded. It would be good to cook 3-4 batches with this size mixture. Let the noodles cook in the water for about 3-5 minutes, stirring often, and then ladle them out with a straining spoon. The noodles should not be runny and should stay in a noodle looking shape. If they are still runny, they need to be cooked more.

7. 7

   Place the noodles on a serving dish and season with a little more salt, some pepper, and butter to taste.
