Spaetzle or "Knoepfle"?

A question of length, not the taste!

There seem to be people who claim that only their dumplings are the real ones. This is of course pure nonsense ....

You should know that there are different traditional spaetzle shapes. Before there was our ingenious spaetzle board Württemberg favorite cooks the spaetzle press, called Spaetzle Schwob. Thus spaetzle are almost as long as Italian spaghetti.

In Alemannic Allgäu, in Bavaria, Baden, Switzerland and Austria are preferred, however brief spaetzle. To produce them, they needed an earlier call spaetzle plane. Strictly speaking, this unit should read buttons plane, for a short time spaetzle are now nothing more than Knöpfle.

You see: There is no reason for a religious war over the length of the spaetzle to ignite? It is important but only its incomparable taste.

With our spaetzle board will succeed in fact, both forms equally well. What matters is how steep the lead over spaetzle scraper board. The steeper, the shorter the spaetzle. The flatter, the longer the individual spaetzle.

New: What a blessing that you can connect with the Spätzelewunder both long and short spaetzle.
