Coincidentally, I made spätzle with one of my sons (5 yrs old) last night. It was the first time for both of us, and lots of fun. Turned out great too. I must say, i think working with just one child made it a lot easier than when i try to bake with both kids. By the way, you don’t need any special equipment. The old school way: put some batter on a cutting board. Cut it into thin ribbons with a sharp knife or bench scraper/dough cutter, and drop/shake each one directly over the boiling water.
Whatttt! I've never heard of that method. That is so cool. And yes that is such a good tip about focusing on one child when baking/cooking together. I need to add that to the list. Thank you Sara!
