Soft Alsatian egg noodles, scraped into boiling water and then tossed in foaming butter, served as a side to braises or piled up with melted cheese and fried onions.
Spaetzle, the little soft egg dumplings of the German-speaking world, are as Alsatian as they are Swabian. The dough is loose, scraped or pressed straight into boiling water, where the noodles set in seconds. In Alsace they are the standard partner to coq au Riesling and game, and on their own become kaseknepfle when bound with cheese and topped with fried onions. They are home cooking, comfort and the everyday starch of the region.
