Ingredients

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Bring a saucepan of salted water it a boil, reduce the heat, and maintain a simmer. In a bowl, stir all the ingredients together. Place a colander over the pan, pour about1/4 of the batter into the colander, and press through the holes with a plastic spatula into the hot water. When the spatzle starts to float to the surface, cover the pan and keep covered until the spatzle appears to swell and is fluffy. Remove the dumplings and repeat the procedure with the remaining batter.

OMG!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cannot say enough about these spaetzle. I have been making them for years, trying different recipes. Just as the other... reviewers comment, these are the BEST!. Not too chewy, not soggy, not too big, not too small. Perfect. Make sure to double the recipe, even triple it. That's how good they are.Read more

This is by far the best recipe for spaetzle I've found. I've tried a lot of the ones here on foodnetwork.com and this is by... far the best! The spaetzle cooks up nice and light and isn't overly chewy (probably from the addition of baking powder). Just be careful not to overcook them as they can get waterlogged. I sautee the little buggers in a pan with some butter, salt and pepper for a few minutes and then, the possibilities are endless...serve 'em as a side with dinner or toss them with your favorite sausage for a hearty, Bavarian breakfast. I think I hear the accordions playing...Read more

The best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have tried so many recipes for spaetzle, but this is the best by far. The addition of the baking power makes these a... little lighter. I always add whatever herbs I have on hand. Read more
