Spaetzle

[CookieMonster]

spaetzle is really good eating - which "form" did you find?
there's thin strands stuff - dried looks like a bird nest
and
the cheese doodle style - which is our preference

 

[medtran49]

I use a slider box to make mine, so kind of cheese doodley.

Never had spätzle. Wish I hadn’t looked it up. That’s now going on my fantasy ‘Eat All The Gluten Week’ list

You can serve it beside the shrimp stuffed mirliton with a small pile of bacon...

this is the scraping method - Oma's dialect is precious!

Wow!

We have spaetzle occasionally.

Appears discontinued but Dollar Tree and a drill...

I lost count of how many 'spaetzle makers' I tried - they all failed, some more miserably than others....
once upon an episode Emeril used one of the below - it is the absolute best for cheese doodle style.
you can guess from the packaging why it's not in stores -

No, they are available. All you have to do is Google spatzle maker. I very much prefer my slider box maker over the ones you have to use a scraper to mash through.

If you already have a ricer with fairly big holes you can also use that.

We've got a package of cooked rotkohl in the freezer, plus some pork tenderloins. Sounds like a meal with some fresh sage flavored browned butter and spatzle!

Don't use google...

Why?

They don't pay me for the advertising data they glean.View attachment 122516

Corrected.

medtran49 I’ve watched a few spätzle videos and I think the box version would suit me best. I see the batter consistency is important depending on what you’re using to make it so I was wondering if you have an ingredients list with ratio’s you could share?

Next time I'm at Dollar Tree I'm going to get one of their cheapy cutting boards and give it a shot like in the video. The recipes I'm finding say to use flour but I know from making potato dumplings when I used flour they fell apart in the water. The only thing that worked with the dumplings was using potato starch.

I’ve watched few youtube ‘how to’ vids by proper German spätzle makers and they all use flour. Plain (all purpose) flour.
They said you can buy spaetzle flour in Germany which is mainly plain flour with a bit of semolina in it.

The box spaetzle makers are only £12 here or the round flat dish version about £20.
Had a look on the US amazon and the box one is about the same in dollars but the round flat dish version you can get for $11.99

No more room for "things" in the kitchen!
