I found a spaetzle press a few weeks ago and I was so excited. I had to buy it. It is plastic and not as nice as my mom's, but I'm so happy to get to make spaetzle for the first time. You should see how my great aunt, Tante Magda makes it. She uses a board and a knife. She holds it over the water and scrapes the noodles off and they are perfect. It is one of Marshall's favorite foods. Even the kids were excited about having it. We had some bratwurst to go alongside it. Yum, Yum!
2 c. flour
4 eggs
1/3 c. milk
2 tsp. salt
butter
sliced onions
Stir flour, eggs, milk and salt. The batter will be sticky. Put dough into spaetzle press and press until small noodles form. Cook until they float. You can also use a colander and press the dough through with a wooden spoon. I've never tried that so I don't know if it works. Coat it with cooking spray first. Melt butter in a pan and saute the onions. Serve over spaetzle. Marshall and the kids love it with gravy, but that happens to be the one thing I cannot make. Too bad.
