Spaetzle (German: Spätzle) means literally translated "little sparrow" and is a Swabian specialty from Germany. It is made from flour, eggs, water, and salt. There are different techniques to make spaetzle, such as using a spaetzle-maker or spaetzle-press. The original technique is to use a kitchen board and a grater. Spaetzle are served as side dishes with a sauce to meat or as main menu with cheese and onions.
