These tender homemade noodles take only minutes to make and are a natural accompaniment to Mom's chicken. You can enjoy them with the chicken gravy or simply buttered and sprinkled with parsley. —Pamela Eaton, Lambertville, Michigan

We had this with the chicken and loved it. I'm not a fan of homeade noodles, but these I'd have just about any way you made them! Thanks again!

I make this recipe all of the time, and depending what I am making it for, I sometimes do a half or third of whole wheat, the flavor changes a bit, but it isn't a bad change, just different. One of my favorite ways to use this recipe is to have chopped tomatoes, chives, garlic powder, and parmesan with about a quarter cup butter in a bowl. When the spatzle is done, I drain and pour into the bowl I toss and add some of cream and pepper. My family really likes it. I love this recipe--thanks.

Just about to try this recipe. Any reason what the 2 tsp of salt versus 1/2 tsp. Does this affect the cooking??

Can I use half white flour and half wheat flour to make a bit healthy or not?
