        Took about 2 hours just to make the spaetzle… I will say I took 3 10 minute breaks because of how sore my arm got. Bowl of batter, scoop 1-2 spoon fulls, then squeeze till no more came out. Had to be careful though, because by time about 3 squeezes worth were in the oil the first squeezer worth was already cooked so we then had to alternate squeezing and picking them out with a slotted spatula.

        The recipe I found on the internet was for 10 servings but there was only 3 of us so we I told my girlfriend to cut it in half. Somehow there was a miscommunication and instead of halving it, she doubled it.

        We both loved the final result but agreed to never make it again due to the effort it took.

          Well if you have too much, spätzle freeze really well. Just throw them into boiling water for a few seconds to heat them up again.
