Hello everybody, it’s Drew, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, spätzle. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Spätzle is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is appreciated by millions every day. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. Spätzle is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They are fine and they look fantastic.

To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have spätzle using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Spätzle:

1. Make ready for the batter
2. Get 2 x eggs
3. Take 200 g x plain flour
4. Prepare 80 ml approx cold water
5. Make ready 1 tbsp chopped herbs (opt)
6. Make ready to taste salt and pepper
7. Prepare suggested additions
8. Prepare 2 x rashers bacon
9. Take 1/2 onion diced
10. Get 1 x tbsp grated parmesan

Steps to make Spätzle:

1. Combine flour herbs (parsley) salt and pepper and mix well with a whisk, now add eggs
2. Add the water then with the whisk create a thick slurry in the well, when the mixture starts getting a bit too thick for the whisk, time to use a wooden spoon and beat the mixture smooth.
3. When the batter is smooth cover with cling film for 10 minutes to allow all the liquid to absorb into the flour. The 3rd image shows the thickness of the batter after the 10 minutes.
4. I found the mixture a little bit too thick so I added a splash of water, I wanted the batter to be able to pass through the holes of my colander into the salted boiling water below. I have seen this technique done by simply using 2 spoons to drop the batter into the water, (there is no wrong way to do this)
5. Use a spoon to push the batter through the holes into the salted boiling water below, let this boil for a few minutes
6. Fry the bacon and onion in a pan with a little olive oil and butter if you like, use a slotted spoon to transfer the spätzle into the frying pan. Stir over a lowish heat for a couple of minutes then add more chopped herbs (opt)
7. Add some of the parmesan into the pan and stir, if the mixture is a little dry reserve some of the cooking water to add. I poured in about 50 ml to moisten the dish, if you added too much just stir over the heat until it evaporates.
8. I finished the dish with lots of black pepper and more parmesan and herbs, this really is a technique recipe for the spätzle so feel free to add any additional ingredients that you like with gnocchi or pasta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdcpmtFuUkI&t=1s
