No one can resist the taste of spaetzle. It's undeniably one of Germany's best creations. And German spaetzle is even a hit during the holidays! So, join Robert Daugherty as he shares his heritage and skill in making German spaetzle.
Creamy and buttery, with a hint of fresh nutmeg, Robert mixes the batter by hand and then cuts the batter old-school-style on a spaetzle board. No mixers, fancy spaetzle makers or colanders. A perfect accompaniment to holiday Roast Goose. Robert's early culinary inspiration, Richard Lee Daugherty, would be proud!
