Spaetzle - Hungarian image

Various English spellings abound, but my Hungarian family has always pronounced this as shpetz-leh. I prefer spaetzle topped with Chicken Paprikash or Beef Goulash (anything with lots of Hungarian paprika!!).

Time 17m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 4

750 g flour
3 eggs
salt
1/2 liter water

Steps:

  • Mix flour, eggs, and a little salt with water into a paste. Do not beat!
  • Drop bit by bit into boiling salted water (the more the better).
  • Two approaches work here, either: (a) lower scant teaspoon of the paste into the boiling water (the spaetzle will separate from the spoon and start to cook) one by one, (b)use a coarse grater to force drops of the paste into the water.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes then strain (and rinse, optional).
