Spatzels

In my husbands family, at most every gathering you will find this special German noodle called spatzels. Before I married into the Flowers family I had never heard of this delightful little side dish. I grew to love them and look forward to eating them. The easiest way to make these is with a Spatzel Maker, but it is not necessary.

Spatzels

2 C. Flour
2 Eggs
1 T. Oil
Milk - To make desired thickness
Salt to taste

Mix flour, eggs, oil and milk in a bowl. Mix only enough milk to make a soft dough. In a large kettle, bring 6-8 cups of water to a boil. Run dough through the spatzel maker or use a knife and spoon to make small dribbles of dough into the boiling water. When fully cooked, drain and salt to taste or toss in a skillet with a couple T. of butter and brown before serving. Serve hot, and ENJOY!
