Spaetzle (pronounced “shpet-sle”) is a type of German egg noodle. It is made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk, which is then dropped into boiling water or broth. Spaetzle can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is often paired with gravy, cheese, or meat.
The word “spaetzle” comes from the German word “spatz,” which means “sparrow.” This is likely because spaetzle is often shaped into small, sparrow-sized pieces. Spaetzle is a popular dish in Germany, and it is also eaten in other parts of Europe and North America.
