Similar to German Spaetzle. Helps to have a Spaetzle press or maker.

Posted on: Feb 3, 2007

Ingredients

  • 2 egg
  • tablespoons freshly rendered lard or oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • quarts water
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Using an electric mixer, blend the eggs, lard or oil, water, and milk.
    2. 2
      Stir the flour together with 1/2 t of the salt and the baking powder in a dry bowl.
    3. 3
      Blend this mixture into the liquid. Mix well and set aside for a moment.
    4. 4
      Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt.
    5. 5
      Using a Spaetzle maker or Spaetzle press, squeeze the dough into the boiling water. Use about 1/3 of the dough for each batch. When the dumplings float to the surface, they are done.
    6. 6
      Remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a colander. They can be served this way with Paprika Gravy or pan-fried with a little butter, just until they are a bit golden, and topped with parsley.
    7. 7
      NOTE: These dumplings can also be made by using a piping bag or dropping very small amounts from a spoon. The latter takes much much longer.
