Baking Powder??? lol ... Spaetzle are only made from Flour, Eggs, a little bit of salt and water. No baking powder! ... I've seen some scary stuff here on YouTube how people make their spaetzle (including adding chopped spinach and nutmeg to the batter). Call me old-fashioned, but having been born and raised a true Swabian, I stick to my basic, hand-scraped spaetzle.
I have a spatzle machine and make spatzle pretty much a few times a week, delicious with turkey gravy at Thanksgiving and fried the next morning with scrambled eggs. The kids love it that way...great video, have never in my life seen it made that way...made me smile!!! My Oma used to make it on a wooden cutting board with a knife dipped into the boiling water, that is the old way of making it. You did a good job! Hats off to you! Once you get a machine you'll love it!!
I made spaetzle last night for chicken soup. My recipe told me that I should keep adding flour to the eggs until it forms a ball. But that was too much flour, because the spaetzle was very thick and it didn't even cook in the middle! (I used a plate and a spoon and cut it into slices. I also used whole wheat flour and that may have altered the intended result.) I think that the runny consistency of the dough in your recipe is probably just about right.
Souds about right, but let's not over-complicate it.
Hundreds of years ago folks did not have most of those stuff you show, but only used flour, egg and a pinch of salt and cooked it in boiling, salty water. Of course you can fancy it up with herbs and chicken soup. Some folks also cook those directly into the soup, and use a plate n a spoon, instead of the device shown in this video.
Btw: Germans adapted this dish from East Europe. Gotta love the SPAETZLES! Thanks for the video...

Of course not! It is just a better taste if you scrape Spätzle. That's a fact known by every Swabian.

Funny! I've never ever heard of this way of making little dumplings until last week. I just gotta find a way to try this out!

Don not use a device. The best Spätzle you get with knife and food tray. Only scrape the Spätzle from the tray.

@achimvr Just because its harder to make that way doesnt make it taste better.

Hello!
I only use water, flour and salt to make spätzle.
For 50 to 100g of flour, I use one egg, it depends on how big the eggs are.
My batter gets much thicker. Maybe you coudn´t use that one for your spätzleplane-maschine or how this is called in englisch:)
This is a nice video, hope you and your family are enjoying your spätzle!

Great video, looks easy to make.
To oceanlillys comment: It's just called a Spaetzle Maker. I found them on amazon for about $10.
