Very old recipe from my Better Homes cookbook, and another family favorite of my kids. Spaetzle can also be made and used with other dishes such as meatloaf (right Scott??) .You can also buy a spaetzle maker which has a center for the dough and then slide it back and forth over the hot water, which makes them more uniform.
