Инструкции
- Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour Large eggs and 1/4 c. water into middle of flour mix, beat with a wooden spoon. Add in sufficient water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it elastic and stiff.
- Using a spaetzle machine or possibly a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in the water about 5 min or possibly till they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out and drain on paper towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat, and serve with a main dish. Or possibly, do not bother browning them, and serve in/with soup, or possibly with stew.
- (Another method for shaping the noodles is to spread the mix on a wooden board and cut off little pcs, dropping them in the boiling water and fishing them out quickly when they're done.)
- (Be prepared to write off your first few attempts at spaetzle, by the way.
- They are very labor-intensive, and a little miscalculation with the time in the warm water can ruin them. One joke I heard about them while in
- Switzerland: Man in restaurant to chef - "These spaetzli are terrible!" Chef: "How dare you! I've been making them since before you were born!" Man: "Yes, but did you have to leave them in the water which long!")
