How to make Austrian & German Spätzle without a Spätzle maker
Simple basic recipe for classic Austrian & German spaetzle ("Spätzle) with flour, milk and egg & instructions on how you can easily make spaetzle without special equipment by scraping the spaetzle off a wooden board with the back of a a knife.
Zutaten
- 500 g all purpose flour - for soft spaetzle it's best to use coarse-grained flour like special spätzle flour, for something more substantial, use smooth flour. You can also use all-purpose flour or approx. 30-50% wholemeal (wheat, spelt).
- 1 level teaspoon of salt
- 4 eggs
- 300 ml milk or e.g. oat milk - the milk can also be replaced with the same amount of pureed spinach chard, wild herbs or other pureed vegetables.
Anleitung
- Weigh out the flour and empty into a large bowl. Measure/weigh the milk into a separate container. Crack the eggs into the flour, add the milk and salt and mix quickly with a wooden spoon.
- In the meantime, bring a large pan about ⅔ full of water to the boil. Add a little salt.
- Using a spaetzle slicer or sieve, sieve the dough into the simmering water and stir.
- WITHOUT A SPAETZLE SLICER/SIEVE:
- Spread the dough in portions on a wooden board and use the back of a knife or a metal pastry card to scrape thin spaetzle directly into the pot (see also video directly below the pictures from 00:15).
- Stir while cooking to prevent the spaetzle from sticking together.
- After approx. 5 minutes of cooking, strain the spaetzle and rins
