Hand scraped Pasta Dumplings/Spätzli
Pane-Bistecca
There are several ways to make Spätzli or Chnöpfli! Spätzli are more elongated drops or strips, Chnöpfli are small round drops. The drops are made by pushing them through a perforated sieve and letting the rather liquid dough drip into the boiling water. The Spätzli are made by pushing a thicker dough through a spaetzli strainer or press or scraping it off a wooden board.
I show you here how to scrape the Spätzli, but here you can also see how to make Chnöpfli/Spätzli, without a board. Something about the name, in Germany all these pasta dumplings are called Spätzle, here in Switzerland they have different names.

Step 4
Provide a wooden board and a metal scraper (or knife). In addition, provide a strainer in a soup plate. You also need a strainer and a bowl with a piece of butter in it. You should have everything ready, because when you’re scraping, you don’t have time for anything else!

Step 5
Dip the wooden board and the scraper briefly in hot water and put a big spoonful of the dough on it. Spread thinly with the scraper down toward the end of the wooden board. Now use the scraper to scrape narrow strips of the dough directly into the water. (See video)

Step 6
Once the spaetzli float to the top, use the strainer scoop to skim out of the water into the strainer in the soup plate and then place in the bowl. Serve with grated cheese and a sauce with or without meat.
