  1. My Grandmother placed some dough on a wooden cutting board and scraped with sharp knife direct in cooking salt water. Aaaah
     
  2. These were really good. I have been craving them. I even got my picky daughter to eat them. They are so good sauted with the onions and butter, especially when the onions get sweet and caramelized. I had a really hard time at first. I tried using a spoon to drop them in, but that didn't work. After several different attempts, I figured something out. I used a big slotted spoon and used a spoon to squeeze the dough through the slots. It took me forever. I would like to make these again, but I would like an easier method. I will probably wait until I have a spatzel maker to make it less work. They did taste really good though.
     
  3. Holy Yum!! Better than the restaurant! Thanks so much! We pushed the batter thru a collander (strainer) a technique I saw before, so they were tiny, which I love! Soooo good...Hope you like my photos!
     
  4. We loved this! Reminded me of something my grandma would make. These dumplings are fast and simple, and great with chicken. I'll make this again for sure. Thanks for posting!!
