Cooking method

• Spätzle is a Swabian and Alemannic variety of pasta. In literal translation "shpetzle" means "sparrow". In fact, these are homemade noodles or dumplings that are made from batter. Spetzle is round - "Knöpfle" and oblong shape "Spatzen". It is used as a side dish for main dishes, as well as, with various additives (cheese, etc.), as an independent separate dish. This is the most popular dish that is ordered in restaurants in Germany. The first written mention of this dish dates back to 1725. Today, the food industry in Germany produces about 40,000 tons of Spetzle annually.
• Spetzle is an irregularly shaped type of egg pasta with a rough, porous surface that varies in shape between thin and thick, long and short. The only type of pasta that is cooked right during production. Raw dough is squeezed out through perforated plates, or scraped off a special plate into boiling water.
• Let's get started. The basic recipe consists of flour, eggs, salt, and liquid. As a liquid, the Germans are equally fond of milk and mineral water, sometimes just water, or a combination of both. Sift flour into a bowl, add salt and eggs, gradually pour in liquid. Traditionally, the dough is kneaded with a wooden spoon until it starts to bubble. The consistency of the dough should be the same as thick semolina porridge. It should drain slowly from the spoon without breaking. Add more liquid if necessary. leave the dough alone for 10 minutes. Boil water in a saucepan, add salt.
• We prepare the spatlet using the selected method:
• 1- put the dough on a cutting board and cut it piece by piece into boiling water with a sharp knife
• 
• 2- there are special spatlet presses
• 
• 3- Spatula graters
• 
• 4- put an ordinary grater on the pan and squeeze the spatula into the holes with a spoon / spatula (my photo)
• 
• 5- you can use anything, turn on imagination! such as a slotted spoon and forces. scapula (my photo)
• 
• 6- tight bag with holes
• 7- pastry bag with attachments
• 8- colander with round holes and spatula / spoon
• Spatlets are prepared quickly, after surfacing 3-5 minutes. We take out with a slotted spoon / strainer in a colander and rinse with cold water (that is, as well as noodles, although my husband loves unwashed ones). Add butter. This completes the basic recipe.
• Well, there are a lot of options for spetzle! Anything is added to the dough - cheese, spinach, mushrooms, tomato powder, nuts, various spices, etc. Like our usual noodles, Spetzle can be an independent dish, or it can be served with various sauces, used as a side dish, added to soup, made a casserole, formed cutlets, used in salads. Most often they are eaten with toasted onions and cheese. They are almost always fried a little in oil. Flour is used wheat, whole grain, rye, vegetarians love chickpea, in general, different.
• Photo report on the basic recipe:
• dough, shaping, boiling, serving with butter without frying.
• 
• For clarity of options, today I also prepared nut "sparrows" with onions and cheese.
• 200 gr wheat flour
• 200 g whole grain flour
• 100 gr ground walnuts
• 5 eggs
• 1 tsp (under the knife) salt
• 150 ml milk + quantity to the desired consistency
• 1 pinch of nutmeg
• washed and roasted nuts
• 
• kneaded the dough
• 
• 
• squeeze out the "sparrows", that is,
• 
• thrown into a colander and rinsed
• 
• Saute the onion until half cooked, salt and pepper (a mixture of peppers), add spices (again, a pinch of nutmeg)
• 
• Add spatlet, brown, sprinkle with cheese and a spoonful of thick country sour cream. Hide your ears, or someone will drag it away))
•

Oops, thanks for the recipes! Otherwise I make the same eggs + sour cream + cheese + flour + salt to my boys. They are very fond of broth with such "macayons".

[Natalia.]

Natalia.hope the boys like it! If it's not a boy's secret, these are sons and husband?)))) I make lazy dumplings with additives for my daughter, she is very good. like it, you need to add it to the recipes, maybe someone will come in handy.

No! Boys are grandchildren of 4 and 3 years old. The elder is not good at feeding, it's a problem to feed him. But the pasta is ready to eat from morning till night. Therefore, such recipes are a lifesaver for me. And it's easier with a younger one. Give him meat! A man!
I will be grateful for lazy dumplings. And then I make them according to the classic recipe, changing the shape, and sometimes I cook them in tins for a couple.

Okay, Natalya, I'll figure out how many things and I'll post. In the coming days, I will cook just right, stocks are out)

[NataliARH]

NataliARH, the letter ä can be replaced by the letter combination ae, the letter ö can be replaced by the letter oe, the letter ü, respectively, ue.

I didn't write about the recipe myself, my head is full of holes. Very good!!!

[Lerele]

Lerele, thanks for the rating, I tried
about replacing letters, honestly forgot to learn German at school, it was half a life ago)))) was the teacher's favorite and forgot everything completely! well, nothing, now the younger will grow up and my brain will return to me

I love this and do it quite often. Thank you.

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya, yesterday I diminished the frying pan

[NataliARH]

It's good, after all, when there are contests. My head doesn't hurt, what to cook for lunch or dinner.
NataliARH, tomorrow I’ll cook the shpetzle. I wrote so appetizingly and showed that even after a hearty dinner I still want to try.

I will definitely try!

I've never heard of such a dish. I liked the recipe very much, a wonderful master class, everything is very simple and accessible. I’ll take my brother’s wedding this Saturday and create. Thanks for the recipe

Ummmm. This is probably delicious!

Thank you . I have never even heard of such a dish. I will definitely try.

Thank you for the master class on Spetzle, it was interesting to watch and read, bravo.

And I really liked the recipe, I bought a taper grater for a spetzle, it is still untested :-) :-) so I will try to cook, thank you very much !!!

But I still could not resist and quickly made them. This is one of the few recipes when little time has passed from reading to cooking. Thanks for the recipe, it's really delicious.
Made with butter and grated cheese.

[notglass]

notglass, TatianaSa, olesya26, tuskarora, Scops owl, lettohka ttt, Girls! Thank you for your attention, it's really simple, fast and delicious! Gaby promptly took a sample

2- there are special spatlet presses

So, sir, I have a similar potato grinder from IKEA. Will it be interesting? Or are there more holes in the press?



I want a spetzle (spetzley ???) I have no strength And why did I not buy a special piece of equipment in Prague in Teskom ??? There were as many as 2 different ones There will be a reason to return

Eh, what to adapt ??? I have nothing with holes

Wow, I have this:

4- put a regular grater on the pan and squeeze the spatula into the holes with a spoon / spatula (my photo)

And this is:



The question is which is better? The hole in the grater is clearly larger

Lena try a steamer from a multicooker, one of the girls wrote !! :-) :-)

[lettohka ttt]

lettohka ttt,
Oh, exactly! Semyon Semyonich (c) Thank you!

You can also use a drushlag, but they are also different :-) :-) I try to use a taper on a grater, then I will report what impressions :-) :-) :-)

[Antonovka]

Antonovka, lettohka ttt, let's-let's, and the fact that the tool is out of work! waiting for

Someone also wrote about the Ikeevsky potato maker ...Spetzle's shape can be any, and long as spaghetti and round and well, whatever, so at least something will do)

[NataliARH]

NataliARH,
Today I will try to do)

[NataliARH]

NataliARH,
Natasha, I haven't done it yet, I hope it will work out tomorrow. I have a question - do you wipe everything at once, or did you wipe a part and take it out? I'm just afraid that while I wipe the last portion, the first ones will already be cooked and digested

So far, no one is there, can I answer :-) :-) :-) you need to grind a little over it, cooked, got the next portion grinded, and voila !!! :-) :-)

[lettohka ttt]

lettohka ttt,
Well, what are we doing tomorrow?

[Lena]

Lena, if you make several portions, then of course in parts, and if 1-2 you can wipe everything at a time. in the course of the process you will understand and get used to it)

Lenochka, of course we do !!! :-) :-) :-)

[lettohka ttt]

I'll try on a grater from the server, then I will report back what impressions :-) :-) :-)

lettohka ttt Already have impressions of the Tupper grater?

Yes, all until my hands do not reach, it's time to pickle, I just don't have time physically, so I'll rake it up and definitely try :-) :-) :-)

I assure you, it is sooo fast) and most importantly exciting and interesting) knead for 1-2 eggs for the first time.

[NataliARH]

NataliARH,
Natasha, I did them on October 11th. I had to wipe them through a grater - through the rest, what was present at home simply did not work out The multi-cooker stand-steamer turned out to be not with holes, but with stripes - after 5 years of owning Panasik, I noticed it I brushed it off immediately. Moreover, my grater turned out to be less than a saucepan and my son poured the dough.
It turned out scary, but delicious - I made it with onions and smoked brisket. Now I ordered a plastic piece for a pan for a spezli, as I get it, I think it will work)

Antonovka, Len, and where ordered, write

[EnichkaEnina]

EnichkaEnina,
Linen, here in the joint venture at T.A.

Here I am with a spezle. Made with 300 grams of flour. Rubbed through a colander in turn with the daughter. The efficiency of the colander is very low Thurla until the hand gets tired, then the daughter, then me again. While she was rubbing, by the end I was laughing to tears. She called me a culinary maniac, says on your bread machine that all villains? However, this did not prevent her from appeasing the spezle. I added chicken to them, well, I was afraid of lying around. And so it seems to me with an onion and with sour cream it may also be tastier. The dish is very tasty, but you need to choose from which to squeeze the dough. By the way, by the end I had already got the hang of it, not to drive the dough in a colander, but to push through. Thanks for an interesting recipe and a fun evening.

[Antonovka]

Antonovka, Scops owl, what a beauty! Congratulations! I'm glad that I liked it, if you make the dough a little thinner, then it is more convenient to squeeze them out, that is, there is less effort, but the Germans have a tough dough. Lena, do not be afraid for the shape, the main thing is delicious! what forms I have not seen when I studied a bunch of recipes)))

Spyushka, wonderful spetsli turned out. And I wiped it through a multicooker double boiler with a plastic dough scraper, I drove it from side to side quickly, also trying to be faster. Knead a half portion so that to cook everything in one fell swoop.
The recipe is very good, fast, thanks to the author again.

I have been making Spetzli for a long time and I love it very much for side dishes and broths, yesterday they ate mine with a pork neck from AFochka

Tanya, tell me, how do they behave in soups on the second or third day - do they not get wet? Tanyulya, you have the highest class.

Vika, thank you, they behave great in soups. I make for 3 eggs, 300g flour, 75 ml. milk.
They love my chicken broth with them, and I like mushroom soups.

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya, nice to see you and your creations! Thanks for the photo! I really like chicken or rabbit soups with whole grain noodles, the taste is really interesting, not like with ordinary noodles! with spetzle, you must also try)

in short, spetzle is a delicious kind of homemade egg noodles, soon this German dish will sneak into our cities)))

[Gaby]

Gaby Maybe through a double boiler and more convenient. It is necessary to adapt something Although I would look at the plastic and break it out of zeal Then order, look.
Tanyul, and what are you pushing through?

[NataliARH]

I push through this

and recently through this
(the photo is not mine, soon there will be a video, that's where I will be a madman with spetzles)
I've had my first grater for 10 years
and the last press, recently ordered on Ali.
there are still others, such as Teskomovsky, but they are uncomfortable for me.
NataliARH, Thank you so much . With me on you

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya, but what is such a MIRACLE called in English? I also want 😱

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya, but what is such a MIRACLE called in English? I also want 😱

Yes, we have it in Russia, it costs about 1000, I only saw it later, but I have to look for a link to Ali, although I ordered it in the spring.

Is it generally for mashed potatoes? Something comes to mind, besides cookies, nothing comes to anthills

Is it generally for mashed potatoes? Something comes to mind, besides cookies, nothing comes to anthills

Generally on our sites it is called: Press for making homemade noodles.

[Tanyulya]
