This is a bit like pasta, but you eat them as a side dish for meat for example.
1Ingredients
for 2/3 persons,
- 1,5 cups of strong white flour (you can use 1/2 of all purpose white flour)
- 2 eggs
- a teaspoon of salt
- cold water
- butter
2Cooking
Put some unsalted water to boil in a large sauce pan. While you are waiting for the water to boil, mix the eggs with the flour and add water until you get a smooth batter.
It should not be too solid (you are not looking for a pasta paste) nor too liquid (you still want some texture). It should be just liquid enough so you can pass it through a strainer with large holes.
When the water is boiling, pass the batter through a large hole strainer over the water. When all the formed spaetzle are floating, they are cooked. You do not want to overcook them, otherwise, they will be too sticky.
Now melt a bit of butter in a pan and grill the spaezle for a few minutes.
