German Spaetzle (Spätzle)
Miscellaneous Recipes
Yield: 4 cups or 2to 3 servings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
Stir together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, combine eggs and milk; stir into the flour mixture. After kneading, cut dough into 1 to 1 1/2 inch long, pencil-thick lengths.
Bring a large pot of water to a slight boil on the stovetop. Place the pieces of dough
(the Spätzle) onto the water surface and let them cook for approximately 10 to 20 seconds according to their thickness.
When Spätzle are sufficiently cooked, gather with a large slotted spoon, drain and place
into a serving dish. Top with melted butter to keep from sticking together. Garnish with bread crumbs.

I tried this recipe because my son needed to take an authentic German dish to his German class. They all loved it and we got an A for the dish. Thanks to you I was able to get a recipe that was easy to make. It is also very close to a recipe that a German friend of my mother's gave her. – Reviewed by Lisa Bryant
