Idk if I did something wrong, but I couldn't get it to push through anything! The flavor was fine.(I tediously pinched off tiny bits) Is the dough supposed to be dry or runny? This was my first attempt at making this, so I'm def going to try the recipe again, but hope to either find a cheap spaetzle maker, or beg my German gma to show me how she does it next time I see her. lol

These taste great, but I couldn't push them through a strainer or a grater so I patted the dough flat, sliced it into thin strips and cut off little pieces which I dusted with flour, placed in a colander to shake off excess flour, and put them into boiling water and boiled them until they rose to the top. I will not make them again because of this problem, but if you can make it work, they have a wonderful flavor.

I had a very difficult time getting it to pass through the colander so I instead snipped it into small pieces. While it didn't look like spaetzle, the taste was very good.

the reviewers who spoke of frying these in butter with onions reminds me of a polish noodle dish my family makes. we know them as poluski (i'm sure my spelling is off). the dumplings a slightly larger but prepared much the same way. the easiest way is to hold the bowl with the batter over the pot of boiling water and while "pouring" slowly use a knife to cut the dumplings along the edge of the bowl. very yummy!

cant you put the dough in a zip lock bag and cut tiny hole in corner and squeeze out and break or cut? or is this idea too slow? Ive never had this but plan to this weekend

I am giving 5 stars even though I have never tried making spaetzles. I know a good recipe when I see one. Will make them SOON.

This is more a note on how to make Spaetzle without a Spaetzle maker. I've made another recipe from this site a few times and it comes out wonderfully (and has a bit of nutmeg). I have a grill pan with holes in it. It fits right over my large stainless pot which I fill halfway with water ( as they expand upon cooking). I spray the pan on both sides with Pam and just push the dough through over the boiling water. It comes our beautifully. I am going to take the advice of other reviews here and try sauteeing them with chopped onion and butter.
