  • This is longtime favorite of mine. These little dough noodles are heavenly comfort food and pair well with sauerbraten and sweet and sour red cabbage. Spätzle, or Knöpfle, also Spätzli or Chnöpfli in Switzerland or Hungarian Nokedli, Csipetke, Galuska or Slovak Halušky, is a type of pasta made with fresh eggs and found in the cuisines of southern Germany and Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia, Alsace, Moselle and South Tyrol. Spätzle is the Swabian diminutive of sparrow. Before the use of mechanical devices, the pasta was shaped by hand or with a spoon and the results resembled Spatzen (plural of Spatz, meaning sparrows, sparrow is Spatz or Sperling in German; Spätzle is the diminutive of Spatz, unchanged in plural).
    SPAETZLE
    INGREDIENTS
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    6 large eggs
    1/2 cup milk (maybe less)
    1/4 cup butter
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, parsley, and nutmeg.
    2. In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs.
    3. Alternate between stirring in beaten eggs and milk to the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
    4. Meanwhile bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
    5. Pour spaetzle dough through a spaetzle maker or colander directly into the boiling water so that small, elongated drops fall in.
    6. Boil until spaetzle rises to the top. Use a slotted spoon to remove spaetzle from water.
    7. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place drained spaetzle directly into butter and fry 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with more minced parsley.

    I love spaetzle with sauerkraut, maybe a little butter when you fry it after boiling the spaetzel. And caraway. Must have caraway on/in it. And butter. Must have butter. And salt. and beautiful home made sauerkraut. And - well, you get the picture.

    My grandmother is from Germany, born in 1895. She used a spaetzle maker, passed it down to my mother, and passed it down to me. I use it today! Easier than using a colander.

    Great that you made these.
    My Mom is from Swabia and cooks Spätzle all the time, especially with Sauerbraten like you and also with lentals and frankfurt sausages.
    But she never puts spices in other than salt snd only fries them to reheat leftovers.
    And she has the metal Spätzle maker of course ;)

    My grandmother made hers by having the dough on a wooden board & using the back of a spoon to push small pieces of dough into the boiling water. It was 50 years ago but I recall her dough being more firm than yours. I've made them using her technique with a recipe I found online. Either way, I agree they're yummy little pieces of goodness.

    • @PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot
      @PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot  4 роки тому +1

    Sprinkle the parsley over finished Spaetyzle before serving, also add 1/2 tsp Salt, and add the milk to the eggs and mix before adding to flour...it's simpler. If you let them cool first before frying, the constituency remains better. Try frying thin slices of onions crisp and sprinkle over them. Yes, leftovers are always good w/apple sauce....that's what we also did growing up (Germany).

      My relatives didn't use baking powder, but the late Irma Rombauer did in her famous "Joy of Cooking." She called them "spatzen" (sparrows) instead of "spätzle" (little sparrow in the Swäbish dialect).

      You'll get a great shoulder and upper arm muscle workout. Make the batter a tad thicker and adjust it by briefly dipping the loaded board in the boiling water. Short learning curve. Takes longer to build up the shoulder muscles. 😄

    I first discovered Spaetzle, (locally called Kuchen & Klaus- with cream, I think?) at our town's annual Deutsch Fest. The dish is fried with tiny diced potatoes, cream & butter. Fest was cancelled last year, (Covid, of course). I have been in Spaetzle withdrawal since. Thank you for showing how easy it is!
