Spaetzle
Spaetzle
Spaetzle is also called tear noodle or tear pasta because of its form. Because it basically tastes
like Pasta, you can eat them to all kind of dishes. From stews over Roasts.......
This is what you need:
- Spaetzle maker
- 500 gr. Flour (around 4 Cups)
- 5 Eggs
- pinch of salt
- around 200 ml water
This is how you do it:
Bring a big pot water with salt to a boil. Have a colander available and maybe some spray oil
or oil so they don't stick.
Mix the flour, the eggs, salt and just enough water together that you have a heavy dough. When
you get a spoon full of dough and let it drop, it should just start to run down in a stream. If its
going down in portions drop by drop, add more water. When it runs down like water, its to
liquid and you might add some more flour.
Once your dough is done and your water is cooking, take the spaetzle maker and fill it up with dough.
Place it over the water and move slowly back and forth and let the dough drop in the hot water till
its empty. Stir the Spaetzle in the Pot and in about 1 min their done cooking. Take them out of the water and put them in the colander. Add a bit oil so they don't stick to each other. Now fill the
Spaetzle maker again with the next batch of dough and repeat till your dough is gone. It usually is
going pretty quick.
Your Spaetzle are done. Now you can do with them whatever you like. We like to layer them with cheese, little bit of butter flakes, salt and french onions. Then I put the Spaetzle Lasagne in the
microwave for 5 min and you have what we call Kaese Spaetzle. (Cheese Spaetzle) and is a whole
meal for itself.
Guten Appetit
