Suggestion: eat with >Hungarian chicken (I'll post one version soon) Geez, none of these recipes are the way my grandmother and father made/make it (my grandmother emmigrated in her 20's) Of course, it's hard to post, but... 2 Cups flour 3 Eggs Pinch of salt Enough water to make into a really heavy thick gooey dough. This stuff should not run more but more like lean when you tip the spoon over, and when you go to pull that spoonful out, it should fight you hard. Beat well with a wooden spoon lifting up the dough to get a little air in and all the lumps out. Put a big spoonful on a moistened wooden cutting board and using either a knife (i use a butter knife) or a real cutter (looks like a flat piece of metal rolled at one end so you can hold it) cut the spaetzel off into the boiling water in quick short strokes to make small noodles. After each dollop of dough is in the water, cook until the water boils again, wait a minute, then scoop out with one small metal strainer and dump into a pot of cold water. when all is out of the boiling water, dump the cold water over a collender and refill the cold water, then start with the next scoop of dough. Personally, i love these with a good roastbeef and lots of gravy overtop, but that's only because i haven't managed to steal my grandmothers recipe for Roladden from my father yet. :-) -=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=- Becki Tants RETANTS@SUNRISE.BITNET RETANTS@RODAN.ACS.SYR.EDU And now, the NEW and IMPROVED UserID: TANTS@DTPVX2.NCIFCRF.GOV The problem with society is that Stupidity is no longer a self-curing disease -=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=- *****
