Homemade Spaetzle

1. 1

   Combine eggs, water, flour and salt, beating until smooth.

2. 2

   Add bouillon cube to 6 cups boiling water. Put batter into the spaetzle maker and place over the pot of boiling water.

3. 3

   Slide the basket back and forth letting tiny dumplings fall into the water. When done, they will rise to the surface.

4. 4

   Do not put too much batter into water at a time or it will not cook properly.

5. 5

   Use a slotted spoon to strain them and place in a colander.

6. 6

   Gently shake off excess water and place into a large covered bowl.

7. 7

   Repeat the process until all of the dough is used.

8. 8

   Lightly toss with butter, parsley, and salt to taste and serve in place of noodles, rice, or potatoes. In the picture above, I served it with my honey balsamic chicken.

9. 9

   I've never tried making this without my spaetzle maker, but I've heard you can use a rubber spatula to press spaetzle batter into pot through 1/4-inch holes of coarse grater, colander, etc....
