A German Spätzle recipe can be tricky to make. Here's my easy version of this traditional favorite. Spätzle (Spaetzle) are a very traditional dish for Swabians living in the Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria states.
Easy, because I use a stainless steel Lid and Scraper combo that I bought in Germany on my last trip. Always works.
This easy home-made recipe lets you enjoy Spätzle wherever you are in the world even if you don't have access to a German deli. So, go ahead. Make this German favorite!
Yes, I love my Spätzle lid with the scraper to make these noodles.
You can either book a trip to Germany to buy yours, or else, just order online. Quite a bit cheaper! LOL
Enjoy! So easy to make these and they taste so much better than the packaged kind.

Spätzle made just like Oma ❤️
Ingredients:
- 2¼ cups flour, all-purpose
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- about ½ - 1 cup water
Instructions:
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
- Add eggs and mix well.
- Gradually add just enough water to make a smooth, light, and firm dough. The amount will depend on how 'dry' your flour is.
- Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
- Push dough through the Spätzle lid with the scraper, directly into the boiling water.
- Noodles will float when they are done (will take a few minutes). Remove with slotted spoon.
- These are often served with lightly sautéed diced bacon or fried onions.
- Makes 4 servings.
- The origin of the word Spätzle comes from Swabian meaning 'little sparrows'
- These noodles are traditional in Germany, especially in Baden-Württemberg and in Austria, Switzerland, and Hungary
- When the noodles are button-shaped, they are called by their Swiss name, Knöpfle, which means "small buttons"
- Traditionally, thin strips of dough were scraped off a wooden chopping board into boiling salted water
- Today, there are many devices that can be used ranging from types of colanders, ricers , food mills, or graters
Spätzle aren't always available in my part of Canada. So, if I want to enjoy them, I must make them from scratch. You can, too. In modern German cookbooks and magazines, whenever recipes call for Spätzle (or Schwabian noodles), they are usually cooked from a package - a convenience food.
Kids love it. And why not? It is so good, so rich, so YUMMY!
Whenever we had noodles of any kind when I was growing up, I always thought we were eating "Italian-style." I didn't know that the southern part of Germany has its own type of noodle dishes, traditional noodle dishes that aren't Italian at all, such as this "Nudelkasserole".
Spätzle, a type of German noodles, are common in the southern part of Germany. This word means "little sparrow". (This type of soft egg noodle is also called "Nokedli" in Hungary.)

Quick Fix Soups has to be one of the best soup books I have ever seen, the way it is presented, the book cover, colorful and inviting.
Your Table of Contents says it all: quick and accessible.
I love the introductory story filled with interesting nostalgia, along with pictures of your granddaughters.

‘Oma says’ are full of hints, and ‘a bit of this and a bit of that’ are rewarding suggestions.
Excellent cook book. I can hardly wait to get started cooking soups.
We love eating soup.
