My grandmother used to make spaetzle. This is a family recipe, great with butter and cheese, stews, etc....like pasta
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
flour
Directions:
1. beat egg and water with fork and keep adding flour and beating with fork until dough is not too soft and not too hard (don't you love this description!?) - let stand covered in the refrigerator for a few hours, cook for 15 minutes in boiling water. when you cook it, either cut up on a cutting board, or put through a strainer or pasta maker to get small pieces.
2. not to soft and not to hard - hmmm - means no longer runny or watery, but not so stiff that you can't mix it. When it starts feeling stiff to mix, it is probably enough flour.
