Spaetzle (also known as Dumplings and Haluski) means
"little sparrow", indicative of the diminutive dumplings of this
pasta derivative of German tradition. It is generally used as a side dish.
It can be made into a dense dough that is cut into little pieces with a
knife, or into a softer dough, which is forced through a spaetzle maker (or
potato ricer) into a pot of boiling water.
Here is a typical spaetzle recipe:
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
Beat eggs lightly and add milk and water. Place sifted flour and salt in a
bowl and gradually stir in the egg mixture until the right consistency has
been reached.
Add more flour if a stiffer dough is desired.
Bring about 4 qts. of salted water to a rapid boil, and you are ready to
drop in the spaetzle dough. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly.
Strain and remove excess water by transferring to a paper towel.
Some ways to serve spaetzle:
- Toss with melted butter;
- Toss with spaghetti sauce and grated parmesan cheese;
- Toss with 3/4 cup warm sour cream and butter;
- Toss with butter and 1/2 cup crumbled crisp bacon bits;
- Toss with 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese and butter;
- Add to soup and cook with the soup;
- Fry in butter and mix with scrambled eggs;
- Use with stews, goulash, boiling beef, and creamed chicken. |
