Spaetzle Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Follow package directions for noodles. When done, dump the spaetzle into a colander and quickly rinse with cool water.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the spaetzle, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to give the noodles some color, then sprinkle with chives and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl.
• Pour eggs and 1/4 cup water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon.
• Add enough water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it elastic and stiff.
• Using a spätzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water.
• Cook noodles in the water about 5 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
• Lift noodles out and drain on paper towels.
• Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Whisk the flour with the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and milk. Gradually mix the milk and eggs into the flour to make a sticky batter.
• Spray both sides of a colander with 1/4-inch-wide holes (see Cook's Note) with cooking spray then spoon the batter into the colander. Hold the colander directly above the pot of boiling water (using an oven mitt if necessary) and working quickly, use a rubber spatula to push the batter through the holes into the water. Simmer until all of the spaetzle float to the surface and are tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss the spaetzle with the butter and sprinkle with herbs, if using.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Gradually draw in the flour from the sides and combine well; the dough should be smooth and thick. Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot, then reduce to a simmer. To form the spaetzle, hold a large holed colander or slotted spoon over the simmering water and push the dough through the holes with a spatula or spoon. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the spaetzle floats to the surface, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Dump the spaetzle into a colander and give it a quick rinse with cool water.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the spaetzle; tossing to coat. Cook the spaetzle for 1 to 2 minutes to give the noodles some color, and then sprinkle with the chopped chives and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Combine flour, eggs, and salt. Add enough water to make a batter the consistency of light cookie dough. Beat well until some air bubbles develop. Let the batter rest.
• Prepare a large pot with salted water. Bring to a boil. Scrape thin rolls of batter from a chopping board or run the batter through a sieve or spaetzle maker into the boiling water.
• Remove cooked spaetzle from the boiling water with a strainer and serve immediately or place in warm water if you are using the noodles soon but not immediately, or place noodles in cold water if you will be refrigerating or freezing.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Add eggs and milk; stir to mix well (batter will be thick). In a Dutch oven or large kettle, bring chicken broth to a boil. Drop batter by 1/2 teaspoonfuls into boiling liquid. Boil until spaetzle rise to the surface; remove to ice water. Drain well. In a skillet, heat spaetzle in butter until lightly browned. Serve with schnitzel and gravy or with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Mix the flour eggs & salt together (use your blender).
• Slowly add the water until the dough is smooth, but not stiff.
• (If large eggs are used then use a little less water).
• Continue to blend the dough until it has enlarged in size.
• Heat a pot of salted water to boiling add a tbsp oil.
• Put batches of your dough in the hopper of the spaetzle grater and grate the noodles into the boiling water.
• Do the recipe bit by bit lifting the noodles out of the water when they float Keep warm while you cook the rest.
• N>B> If you do not have a spaetzle grater roll out the dough to about 1/4" thickness and slice across then slice the other way to have them the size you want them.
• Boil the same as with the spaetzle grater.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Put the flour and salt into a large bowl. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
• Add the eggs, and start mixing with a wooden spoon, gradually adding water as you go.
• When you have reached a thick consistency (dough should only slowly fall off the spoon) "beat" the dough hard until it forms some bubbles and is well blended.
• Make the Spaetzle by either using a special press (looks like a potato ricer with larger holes) or by scraping small parts of dough off a chopping board with a knife.
• Let each noodle drop into the boiling water (don't overcrowd the pot).
• Once they rise to the surface they are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix together flour, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Beat eggs well, and add alternately with the milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
• Press dough through spaetzle maker, or a large holed sieve or metal grater.
• Drop a few at a time into simmering liquid. Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Saute cooked spaetzle in butter or margarine. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat water in a big pot for cooking.
• Meanwhile mix flour, eggs, milk, water and salt together with a blender.
• Let rest 5 to 10 minutes and mix briefly.
• Add salt to the boiling water.
• Add the dough directly into the boiling water quickly using a holed colander or a spaetzle maker.
• When the spaetzle float, they are ready; it takes about 2 or 3 minutes.
• You can prepare colorful spaetzle if you add to the dough:.
• for red some tomato concentrate;.
• for yellow 1 teaspoon turmeric powder;.
