Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine all the dairy ingredients and mix. Combine all of the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ingredients in a steady stream, while mixing. Once the ingredients are combined use a whisk and beat well to develop the gluten. Let the flour rest for a half-hour.
  • Heat a pot filled 2/3 full of salted water. Bring to a boil with a perforated pan on top. Pour a small amount of the batter into the perforated colander on top and work it through the holes with a scrapper.
  • Let the spatzel cook for about one minute. Remove with a strainer and shock in salted ice water. Remove from the ice water and allow to dry slightly on absorbent paper towels. Store in Refrigerator.
  • For service, sear the spatzel in whole butter. You will want to develop color without burning. Turn only once.

    This is very strange and sounds interesting. We have a neighborhood OKTBERFEST coming in a week or so. This may be interesting. We go crazy.

    I really like Spatzel and the addition of chives would only make it twice as Yummy.
