Recipe did not result in expected product. Noodles were BLAH, did not hold form well. By far, this is not one of the better recipes I have used for Spatzel. A little tweaking is required. Most likely I will stick with my Grandmother Stroud''s tried and true recipe.

These were excellent. Very quick to make. I used garlic salt instead of regular salt but this is the only alteration I made. Very yummy. We all enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

I found this recipe to be easy to make and the spaetzle were eggy and firm like noodles. The only difficulty I had was getting the dough through the colander - My arthritis got in the way. Next time I will try trimming dough off the edge of a tipped, smooth plate.

I use 2/3 cup water instead of milk...they turn out great.
