Recipe Introduction


I have been making this since I was a teen and now I have mom's spaetzel maker!



List of Ingredients






Spaetzle

4 servings

2 eggs
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 quarts water
2 T butter, added to prevent noodles from sticking.


Recipe




Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tsp of salt.

1. In bowl 1: Mix by hand, blend the eggs, oil, milk.
2. In bowl 2: Stir the flour together with 1/2 tsp of the salt and the baking powder in a dry bowl.
3. Blend this mixture into the liquid. The doughy mixture will follow your spoon. It will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
4. Mix well and set aside for a moment.

Using a spaetzle maker or spaetzle press squeeze the dough into the boiling water.
5. Use about 1/3 of the dough for each batch or fill spaetzel maker 1/2 way.

6. Slowly sqeeze the dough into the rolling water, When the dumplings float to the surface, they are done.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a colander. Stir in butter to prevent sticking.
