Spatzel is my most favorite thing in the world. There is a german place here in NY that we go to monthly...I can not get enough!
Amen! I purchased a spaetzle maker for my husband. Best gift ever! It's a nice change from noodles or potatoes. We just use them as noodles though. I can't imagine how you could make dumplings. Sounds yummy.
It certainly IS a recipe that has been changed over the generations. I actually don't really care for the scrawny little noodle things that people call spaetzle. If I want egg noodles, I'll eat egg noodles.
[My family, in their "Germ-lish" call them Spet-shells. LOL]
You make the dough, and it's a little wet, not as dry as noodle dough, and then you take two spoons, and scoop up some of the dough with one spoon, and use the other to scrape the dumpling off the first into the boiling salted water. When they float up to the top, their done.
The best size is like bigger than a big marble, smaller than a golf ball. Maybe half the size of a golf ball.
Then you have melted butter with onion ready, and you toss the dumplings with it. We serve this as a side with pork (side pork, if you can get it) and sauer kraut. MMMMMM.......

The Jägerschnitzel (hunter's schnitzel) normally would not be breaded, but the meat is pan fried and served with a mushroom sauce.
I can really recommend the variation of baking them with grated cheese mixed under the Spätzle (we usually use swiss cheese) and serving it with fried onions and a green salad.
Our Appetizers: Potstickers, General Tsaos Chicken Dumplings and Eggrolls! Everything was delicious!

Wow those Nine Dragons pictures look yummy!
Thank You soooooo much for Tuto's pics! We have booked this for the first time in June...and I now know not to order the signature dessert!! LOL!Here are some pics from my most recent dining at WDW--February 09.
Tuto Italia
This is the lasagna entree, and in the background is the pumpkin ravioli, which by the way was very delicious! We also had bread with olive oil and some pickled vegetables which were both complimentary.
This is Tuto Italia's signature dessert, Bugie/Chiacchere. It was just a few big crispy fried chips covered with powdered sugar and had small bowls of chocolate and apricot sauce on the side. They were really rather plain and kind of a disappointment being that they were supposed to be the signature dessert.
This dessert, Tiramasu, was much better:
Biergarten, dinner
cold plate - various salads and pretzel bread
salmon, pork w/applesauce on top, spaetzl, schnitzel, sausage, potatoes
mac & cheese, sausages, pretzel bread, spaetzl w/red wine sauce, mustard to dip pretzel bread
fruit, tiny piece of cheesecake, and a bit of apple strudel
