Spatzle 2

1. 1

   Sp tzle are prepared in many different shapes: there is the round button-shaped variety where the dough is stirred through the holes of a Sp tzle sieve, or the oblong, Swabian kind, where the Spatzle are cut with a scraping motion from a board, or are made with the help of Spatzle slicer or press.

   Sift the flour into a bowl, and add the milk and soda water, mixing well.

   Add the eggs and salt, mix, and beat the dough with a wooden spoon until small bubbles form.

   Let the dough rest for 1/2 hour.

5. 5

   In the meantime, boil up plenty of salted water in a large pot.

   Cut or slice the Spatzle in batches into the boiling water, bring each batch briefly to a boil, then lift out with a slotted spoon, drain in a colander and chill under running cold water.

   Spread the Spatzle on a board to steam off the moisture, then heat them in butter before serving.
