If you are in the mood for a noodle dish with a twist to break up the routine of regular old
spaghetti or macaroni and cheese, then this German dish is for you. Spetletz is an egg noodle
dish that is served in browned butter. In Germany, it is also normally served with sauerkraut and
pork mixed in for additional flavor. This recipe has been used in my family for generations, and
now you can try it too.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
6 eggs
Dash of salt
Cold water
Butter (as much or as little as desired)
Directions:
1. Mix flour, eggs and salt by hand. Add cold water until it has the consistency of a thick
cake batter.
2. Boil a pot of salted water (to a soft boil). Slice strips of the batter into the water and cook
until fluffy. Strain into a bowl of warm water.
3. Brown the butter in a small pan by cooking at the highest heat until browned. Strain the
noodles, toss and butter them. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sauerkraut and pork as
desired. Enjoy.
