The link above is the original recipe, but it needed some extra flavor
Spaetzle:
2 Tbs milk
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 cups (and a bit) of sifted flour
1 cup frozen peas
I just use my Kitchenaid mixer but I'm sure you could do this by hand if you wanted to be authentic:
Beat together milk and eggs
Once well mixed, add salt and sift in flour. Start with 2 cups and mix together. Add flour as needed to make a soft but not sticky dough (I usually use another 1/4 cup or so to get the right consistency)
If you're making true spaetzle**, plop dough into a colander with wide holes and use the back of a big spoon to push dough through holes into a pot of boiling water. Boil for about 5 minutes, add frozen peas for last minute of cooking then drain. **(Instead of the colander, I find it's easier to just roll out the dough on a well floured counter and use a pizza cutter to make short, thin "worm noodles", as Kenny calls them)
Other ingredients:
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup chopped ham
2 cups chopped mushrooms
a splash of white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze pan
2 eggs
1 Tbs dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbs flour
I cup shredded cheese (swiss or cheddar are good)
Saute onions, mushrooms, ham, and garlic until softened and beginning to brown. Deglaze pan with a little wine/broth to get the browned bits loosened.
Combine spaetzle mixture with onion mixture and pour into a 13x9 pan coated with spray.
Whisk together eggs, mustard, milk, and flour and pour into pan.
Top with shredded cheese
Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until set and browned on top.
