Hungarian Nokedli Noodles
These noodles go well with Chicken Paprika, Goulash, or really anything with a rich sauce.
Equipment
- 1 Large Pot
- 1 Cheese Grater or Spaetzle maker
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour all purpose
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Mix the egg and 1/2 cup of water with the salt. Slowly add the flour to make a soft, sticky dough. Try not to make the dough dry and stop adding flour when you get an elastic moist dough.
- Place the cheese grater (spaetzle maker) over the pot of boiling water. Lay a portion of the batter on the grater and move it back and forth over the grater using a spatula or wooden spoon to push through small egg noodle bits that drop into the boiling water.You can also scoop little bits on a spoon and boil them. This does make bigger noodles (which is nice).
- When the noodles float to the top, slowly boil for about 1 minute and drain them. I add butter to the drained noodles.
- Make sure that you make it over medium heat, otherwise the water runs out. Serve immediately as they cool quickly.
