Instructions

  1. Process the ingredients into a spaetzle dough. The dough should fall from the spoon, cracking, and bubbling.
  2. Bring salted water to a boil and drop the dough from a teaspoon into the water. Before doing this, dip the spoon into cold water again and again, then the dough will loosen better from the spoon.
  3. Bring the water sparrows to a boil, drain and rinse with cold water. The baking powder in the dough makes them fluffy and looks like clouds.
  4. You can use it as an accompaniment to a sauce dish or, this is my favorite variant, process it into a sauerkraut pan. Mix water sparrows, cooked and seasoned sauerkraut and a sausage of your choice in the pan and fry. If you like, you can add a little bacon.
