A delightful homemade spaetzle recipe that brings a touch of European tradition to your kitchen.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the salt.
Add the eggs and mix until the dough starts to come together.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shells in the dough.
Gradually add the water while mixing until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Add the water slowly to control the dough's consistency.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the oil.
Adding oil to the water prevents the noodles from sticking together.
Using a spaetzle maker, press the dough into the boiling water in batches.
Work in small batches to ensure even cooking.
Cook the noodles until they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Floating noodles indicate they are fully cooked.
Serve the spaetzle warm with your favorite sauce or as a side dish.
Keep the cooked noodles warm by covering them or placing them in a warm oven.
