Spaetzle (German homemade pasta)...and some sad news

I wasn't in mood for blogging for whole week. My German Sheppard was sick and needed a lot of attention and love. He past away on Monday.
I had many pets over the years, but this dog was truly something special.
My bodyguard and companion, Lily-boy was so smart...Sometimes I felt as another human person was inside him. He was a very loved member of my family....
I miss him very much!


Spaetzle Recipe

German homemade pasta




Ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup water (+,-)
1 teas salt
Spices, your choice (pepper, garlic or onion powder)
You'll need a perforated dish; pizza pan, steamer or simmilar.
Method:
Bring a pot of water to boil, salt it.
Mix all ingredients into a smooth 'batter'. Pour batter over perforated dish (over boiling water), push batter with spatula to help form spaetzle. Do this in a few batches. Cook for 2 minutes. Dishes with large holes give better results ; spaetzle should be a few centrimetes long. Scoop the spaetzle into serving dish.





Spaetzle (špecle) - Njemacka domaca tjestenina

Nije me bilo cijelu sedmicu...U zalosti sam - Moj dragi ljubimac Lili-boy je umro.
Bio je to zaista izuzetan clan moje prodice. Jos uvijek ocekujem da ga vidim kako me ceka kraj ograde kada se vracam kuci ...

Potrebno:
2 solje brasna
4 jaja
1/2 solje vode (+,-)
1 k soli
zacini po vasoj zelji (Biber, bijeli ili crveni luk u prahu...)
Trebacete i posudu sa okruglim rupicama na dnu (Pizza pleh ili slicno)
Nacin:
Pripremite lonac sa kljucalom vodom, posolite.
Pomijesajte sve sastojke za Spaetzle; treba da buge glatko, rijetko tijesto.
Preko lonca sa vodom postavite posudu sa rupama, uspite tijesto i spatulom gurajte kroz rupe. Ovo ponovite u nekoliko mahova.
Kuhajte 2 minute. Posude sa vecim ripama daju bolje rezultate; spaetzle treba da budu nekoliko centimetara duge. Kada isplivaju, vadite ih na posudu za serviranje.
