These are a dumplings - not noodles/pasta. Follow receipe & you'll be fine. Whisk flour before adding other ingredients, only use large eggs & let batter rest a few minutes. May need more liquid due to weather, humidity, etc. as with any pasta/dumpling.

I made this with Goulash and it was fantastic! I added extra freshly grated Nutmeg, but I guess I love that flavor. I had trouble with the colander and slotted spoon drop methods. I ended up putting the batter in a cake decorating bag with a round tip and squeezing it into the boiling water, which worked very well.

Perfect proportions, regardless of what the 1-3 star-reviewers say. Nutmeg level may be high if you use freshly grated. It's not pasta dough, it is supposed to be sticky. It's more thick batter than dough, since it's for a dumpling, not a noodle. It will take some effort to get through a colander or spoon. A food mill might be good, but a ricer would NOT work, if you have any idea what a ricer does. I think I'm going to have to double the recipe next time.

I have never cooked spaetzle before today, and I have to say this was awesome. I doubled the recipe because I was scared of losing too much dough while forming the noodles. I have a food mill, but I've never used it, but thankfully I had a slotted spoon with just the right size holes. I have to question the negative reviews, but spaetzle is like any comfort food, everyone enjoys it their own way.

I made this and reviewed it once before. Then, the recipe seemed.... off. It came out too runny and needed more flour, didn't saute well, etc. I had to try this again and it came out perfectly. The problem was that I used XL eggs last time, not large eggs like the recipe calls. I hope that helps other reviewers. Good luck!

It worked for me but I cut back on the nutmeg and pepper for my kids. I'm just giving it 4 stars because I would consider this only about 3 servings. I doubled it and 4 of us ate most of it but I have teenagers in the house.
I don't yet own a spaetzle maker so I put the dough in a pastry bag with about 1/3" hole and squirt dumplings about 1" long into boiling water - worked pretty good. In the past, I tried potato ricer and colander over water but the pastry bag worked best. Ricer did not work at all.

I have made this recipe several time. It is delicious. I use this recipe for dumplings for chicken soup.

This was my first time to make spaetzle and I had no idea what the batter should look like so I made it the way that I tought it should be. It turned out great. I don't hace a spaetzle maker but I used my food mill with the biggest blade and it work wonderfull, quick and fast. Will do this recipe again. Thanks Tyler for the great recipe. P.S. My husband is not a fan of noodles but he even took a second serving of this one.

Very easy and just how my great grandmother used to make it....she came over from Europe to Ellis Island from Austria, so there is your authenticity rating!
