[b]Spaetzle [SHPEHT-sluh; SHPEHT-sehl; SHPEHT-slee][/b]
Literally translated from German as "little sparrow," spaetzle is a dish of tiny noodles or dumplings made with flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and sometimes nutmeg. The spaetzle dough can be firm enough to be rolled and cut into slivers or soft enough to be forced through a sieve, colander or spaetzle-maker with large holes. The small pieces of dough are usually boiled (poached) before being tossed with butter or added to soups or other dishes. In Germany, spaetzle is served as a side dish much like potatoes or rice, and is often accompanied by a sauce or gravy. The cooked spaetzle can also be pan-fried with a little butter and onions (usually a good left-over idea).
[b]Ingredients:[/b]
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 gallon hot water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
[b]Directions:[/b]
1. Mix together flour, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Beat eggs well, and add alternately with the milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
2. Press dough through spaetzle maker, or a large holed sieve or metal grater.
3. Drop a few at a time into simmering liquid. Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
4. Saute cooked spaetzle in butter or margarine. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve.

[size=small][/size]Cheryl: What wonderful little noodles these are, especially when served with sour cream and powdered sugar. Only a few of us like the whole thing covered with whipping cream as well.
Maybe Monica could be coerced to giving an online cooking lesson from her home using your DVD camera, and both of you providing the running commentary. Ivan could sing (humm, if necessary), ethnic songs while eating. Ron could be seated, eating these little dumplings with an ice-tea spoon and singing ethnic songs, too.
Thanks for posting this on the family website. We've just got to get more participation from everyone...I should be so lucky.
Love you, and say a prayer that Elsie Saare gets over her heart surgeries soon. And, that she gets on the voyage to recovery soon. You'll remember that she was the one who found Heinrich's name on the list of passengers disembarking at the Port of New York.

Tom and I were married in a civil ceremony in Ann Arbor in 1989 while we waited for my annulments to come through and we could be married in the church. Ann Arbor was originally a German settlement and you can still see lots of the influence around town. After our ceremony, we went for lunch with the wedding party to a restaurant called the Heidelberg. Quite a place and the food was authentic German fare. I had these noodles there with gravy. They were quite good.
