Spätzle

Spätzle is a traditional soft egg noodle from Germany, especially popular in the Swabian region. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and water or milk, it is traditionally pressed through a special grater or draped over a spätzle press to form small, irregularly shaped noodles. These noodles are then boiled until tender. Spätzle has a tender, slightly chewy texture and is often served as a side dish with meats or stews, or topped with cheese or gravy. Its versatility and comforting consistency make it a beloved staple in Central European cuisine.
