Ingredients for 4 servings:

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

made with low-fat curd cheese

If you want firmer spaetzle, add semolina. If you want yellow spaetzle, use egg yolks instead of whole eggs. Combine the sifted flour, low-fat quark, salt, and eggs with a dough hook until a smooth dough forms. Knead until bubbly. If the dough is too firm, add another egg. The dough should fall off the spoon with a squeegee. Press the dough through a spaetzle grater into boiling salted water. Bring to a boil briefly, strain, and refresh in cold water.
