GERMAN DUMPLINGS (SPAETZLE OR KNIFFLES) FOR SOUP OR SAUTE
When our church decided to host a "German Reformation Night" dinner, I went hunting for authentic German recipes. Here is one that fits the bill. There are two ways to make the dumplings (explained below). Serving ideas suggested below too. Gushundheit--!

Steps:
- Mix these together until sticky.
- Drop into bubbling soup or stew, broth or water. (see below for ideas).
- Dumplings will rise to the surface as they cook; remove from liquid with a slotted spoon (if sautéing in another pan); set aside in a bowl (keep warm).
- MAKE THE DUMPLINGS #1: This method results in very small, stringy-ish dumplings and is great for soups or stews. Spoon several tablespoons of batter into a colander, then with the back of the spoon--press the batter through the holes into the bubbling liquid.
- METHOD #2: This method forms larger dumpling pieces (dime & quarter size) and is great for soups or stews, too -- but especially good if you want to saute the dumplings afterwards (more on that in a minute). Using a teaspoon and butter knife, scoop up a spoonful of batter, then use the knife to cut off little dibs and dabs, using the knife to also push the dibs into the hot liquid. If the knife or spoon gets messy, just dip into the hot liquid.
- SERVING IDEAS: We love these in chicken-dumpling soup (use your regular chicken soup recipe -- skip the egg noodles and make these dumplings instead). OR scoop out the larger dumplings (Method #2), and saute in butter or olive oil along with kielbasa or other sausage and LOTS of onion ring slices. OR saute some fresh veggies, then add the dumplings -- heaven!
- VARIATIONS: Add several pinches of your favorite herbs along with the flour to enhance the soup, stew or saute dish.
- Chef's Note: Altho' this is kind of putzy, it is well worth the effort and SO different from regular pasta-noodles.

GERMAN EGG NOODLES: SPAETZLE
Steps:
- Combine flour, eggs, and salt. Add enough water to make a batter the consistency of light cookie dough. Beat well until some air bubbles develop. Let the batter rest.
- Prepare a large pot with salted water. Bring to a boil. Scrape thin rolls of batter from a chopping board or run the batter through a sieve or spaetzle maker into the boiling water.
- Remove cooked spaetzle from the boiling water with a strainer and serve immediately or place in warm water if you are using the noodles soon but not immediately, or place noodles in cold water if you will be refrigerating or freezing.

Steps:
- Begin with the German meatballs: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 24 (1 1/2-inch round) meatballs. Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure to drain well as you cook the meaty mixture. Add beef broth, mushrooms, and onion. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, blend sour cream, flour, and caraway seed. Add to the simmering broth and meatballs.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spaetzle by sifting together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk and beat well. Place in a coarse-sieved colander and sieve (pushing the batter through the holes of the colander) directly over a rapidly boiling pot of lightly salted water. Cook for about 5 minutes, drain.
- Sprinkle spaetzle with a mixture of fine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter.
- Place a large portion of the spaetzle on a serving platter and hollow out a well in the center. Spoon meatballs and sauce in the center of the spaetzle and serve warm.

GERMAN KAESE SPAETZLE FOR 1 OR 2
I first tried this for a culture project and it was absolutely fantastic! I make a smaller batch, but that's because I'm a college student, but this can be easily doubled or tripled for more people. I also have no spaetzle maker, so I just spooned a portion of the batter onto a course cheese grater and pressed it through with a spatula. I also wore an oven mitt so my hands weren't burned by the steam as I held the grater over the pot. It's a little tricky at first, but as the batter sits in the grater over the pot, it gets a little thinner and will drip through easily as you press it. Also, I don't have any authentic cheeses, but mine turned out splendedly with grated cheddar and mozzarella.

TINY GERMAN DUMPLINGS SPAETZLE
Spaetzle, "little sparrows," are very like hornli, "little horns," and knopfli, "little buttons." They are all tiny dumplings, very popular in Germany and Switzerland. A plateful of these lovely golden nuggets can be a meal in itself, with salad and wine. Otherwise, serve them with chicken, game, or meat. The purchase of a spaetzle mill will simply the procedure of make them, although you can certainly make do with a large-hole colander, or even a wooden board and a sharp knife

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour with the eggs, salt, pepper, and warm water.
- Beat hard with a wooden spoon to form a thick, smooth batter.
- Continue beating for 5 minutes.
- This should be done rather energetically, by scraping the dough toward you with a regular rhythm, so as to incorporate as much air as possible.
- Let the dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Bring the salted water to a boil.
- If you are using a spaetzle mill, simply push the dough through it into the boiling salted water.
- If you do not have a mill, balance a colander (the largest you own) on the rim of the pot in which the water is boiling.
- Make sure that the water is at least 8 inches below the colander or the dough will simply congeal from the steam.
- Use a large wooden spoon to press the dough through the holes in the colander into the water.
- A third alternative is to add a little more flour to the dough (about 1/2 cup) to stiffen it.
- Remove the dough to a floured board and with a sharp knife slice it into strips about 1/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch long.
- Boil the spaetzle for 4 minutes.
- Drain in a large colander, and rinse briefly under cold running water.
- Drain.
- *Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet.
- Saute the spaetzle for 3 to 4 minutes, then place the skillet in a 350°F.
- oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Serves 6 to 8.
- NOTES AND VARIATIONS:*You can make the spaetzle ahead up to this point.
- Spread them out on a kitchen towel and cover them with a damp towel.
- They will keep for several hours.

"SPAETZLE" GERMAN EGG NOODLES
Spaetzle are a typical dish of the German state of Schwaben. They are easy to make, wonderfully filling and go exceptionally well with cheese (baked in a casserole), roast pork or simply sprinkled with some crispy fried onions.

Steps:
- Put the flour and salt into a large bowl. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
- Add the eggs, and start mixing with a wooden spoon, gradually adding water as you go.
- When you have reached a thick consistency (dough should only slowly fall off the spoon) "beat" the dough hard until it forms some bubbles and is well blended.
- Make the Spaetzle by either using a special press (looks like a potato ricer with larger holes) or by scraping small parts of dough off a chopping board with a knife.
- Let each noodle drop into the boiling water (don't overcrowd the pot).
- Once they rise to the surface they are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and enjoy!

GERMAN HOMEMADE EGG SPAETZLE
Serve these German noodles in place of potatoes with roasts or ragouts. The simplest way to shape them is by pushing the batter through a metal spaetzle press (it resembles a potato ricer and can be bought at specialty kitchen shops) or through a fine colander.

Steps:
- TO MIX IN A FOOD PROCESSOR: Place 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, nutmeg and salt in a work bowl fitted with the metal chopping blade and whirl briskly to mix. Add egg and milk and beat hard (about 3 to 4 one-minute churnings of the motor) until batter is elastic and shows bubbles on the surface.
- TO HAND MIX: Mix dry ingredients in a bowl; combine egg and milk and add all at once; beat hard until batter is bubbly and elastic.
- Push the batter through a spaetzle press (or colander) into kettle of rapidly boiling salted water. Cook the spaetzle uncovered for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. With a slotted spoon, lift the spaetzle to a large bowl of ice water and let stand until nearly ready to serve-but no longer than an hour or two.
- Drain the spaetzle well in a colander, then warm 4 to 5 minutes in the melted butter in a large sauté pan over moderately low heat, stirring now and then. Serve at once. Serves 4.
