ingredients
- 1 2⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3⁄4 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 quarts water
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
directions
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine milk and eggs, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a whisk until combined.
- Let stand 10 minutes.
- Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Hold a colander with large holes (about 1/4-inch in diameter) over boiling water; spoon about 1/2 cup dough into colander.
- Press the dough through holes with a rubber spatula (droplets will form spaetzle); set colander aside. Cook 2 minutes or until done (spaetzle will rise to surface).
- Remove with a slotted spoon; drain in a strainer (spaetzle will stick to a paper towel). Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cups cooked spaetzle; cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Repeat with remaining butter and cooked spaetzle.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
