Not only for Knöpfle, but also for medium-long noodles

Because my mother is Swabian, I'm used to come more often to enjoy homemade spaetzle.
Since it is an impudence in my opinion, this bag things for sale as noodles, I have those always refused; taste and tactile just cardboard!
Now, I had once again wants to noodles, and so I set out to look for a viable tool for producing selbiger.

Here I came across the most diverse equipment.
A press was too expensive to start with, the classic scraping the board should only be practiced and is associated with larger quantities and with more time, the planer should be more difficult to clean and produce only very short, round buttons, and when the round Pot Tower Seven would allegedly sticking the holes too fast, because the steam can not escape laterally.
My first practical and hygienic appearing - - metal tools, as they will heat up faster than the water vapor and the risk of burning is greater In addition, the secreted.

After several reports I became aware of the Tupper Spätzleria who was cheered by many. But 18 euros? Only for noodles? Then I came across this nearly identical spätzle from Fackelmann (same shape, other scraper, different color, rounded holes) and slammed.
Yesterday there was now for the first time spaetzle, and the production was a success immediately! The noodles were about 4cm long; that is exactly my preferred length. No Knöpfle that are just around and inconspicuous, but not incredibly long ribbons, which are more difficult to eat and not also take in as much sauce.

It is important for the production slightly longer spaetzle that 1.) the dough is not too firm is (he has to be more liquid than the board cockroaches and also more liquid than for various presses) and 2) cut off not everybody Spatelstrich; it should be rather gently pressed and scraped until the desired length with the sharp edge.
I had taken a prescription where to 50g flour 1 egg each is given. Außedem flavored still with salt and nutmeg. Since the dough was a bit afterwards still too hard, but I had no other egg more, I still have a (really tiny!) Drink milk added. Then the consistency was perfect.

The cleaning of the device under cold water (hot water leaves the dough immediately hard) worked fine. A quick rinse enough so that the dishwasher did not have to work, even though the device is suitable according to the manufacturer.

Us it tasted very good, and there will be from now on certainly spaetzle more! Possibly I try so betimes but sometimes on cockroaches; curious I became already well. ;)
The grater is at this price but simply unbeatable and perfectly adequate, if one wants to produce no ultra long spaetzle. Everything between round Knöpfle and (with practice) about 6cm long spaetzle is feasible.
