Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    6.10 oz (calculated)
    Notes: as a side dish: 1 serving; as a main meal: 1½ servings per person
  1. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the flour with the salt in a bowl.
  3. Mix together the milk, melted butter and eggs and add to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir with a wooden spoon or using dough hooks until you get a tough, sticky dough.
  5. Bring some salted water to a boil in a big pot.
  6. Traditionally, spaetzle are scraped. If you have them, use a wooden board and a metal spatula. First soak the wooden board in the pot for a minute or so. Like this, the dough will not stick to the board as much. Now spread a layer of dough on the board and scrape thin slivers directly into the boiling water.
  7. Alternatively, use a spaetzle maker.
  8. As soon as the spaetzle float to the top, they are done and you can remove them with a skimmer.
  9. Spätzle are a great side dish for rich sauces and goulash. Or enjoy them as a main dish, for example baked with cheese (Käsespätzle).
  10. Cleanup tip: I recommend you wash the dishes with cold water right away, as the dough is very sticky. Alternatively, soak the dishes in cold water before washing them.
