Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 70 g flour
  • 1 whole egg
In a dry bowl combine 70 g flour, one egg, about two and a half tablespoons of milk and a pinch of salt.
  • 2½ tbsp milk
  • salt
Whisk into a batter that just flows, a little thicker than pancake batter and thinner than crepe batter; add chives and cracked black pepper.
  • chives
  • cracked black pepper
  • salted water
  • butter
Bring salted water to a boil and start butter browning in a pan.
Push the batter through a spaetzle maker, or a colander with a spatula, into the boiling water so little bits fall in and cook; pull them out and set aside.
  • green cabbage
  • onion
Shake the pan while the butter browns so it does not sputter and browns evenly; add green cabbage and onion.
  • salt
Let the spaetzle drain a little, add to the pan with a little more salt and more chives, and saute.
