Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 250 g flour
  • 2 tbsp semolina
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 150 ml water

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

quick and tasty

Bring salted water to a boil in a pot. Meanwhile, combine the five ingredients with the dough hook of a hand mixer to form a smooth dough. Reserve some water for now. Add more water or more flour depending on the consistency. The dough should not be too runny, but rather have a thick and sticky consistency. For other spaetzle-making appliances, it may be necessary to make the dough more runny (using a spaetzle shaker or spaetzle hole insert), but the spaetzle will then become a bit mushy and not hold their shape as well. Press the spaetzle dough in portions into the gently simmering water using a spaetzle press or scrape it by hand. Remove the finished spaetzle with a slotted spoon as soon as they float to the top. Drain in a sieve; do not rinse. These instructions are based on 4 people as a side dish. For hearty eaters or as a main course, it’s best to increase the quantity.
