1 Onion; Halved Lengthwise,

One half teaspoon Baking Powder
One half teaspoon Salt; Divided
1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1 Egg
1 Egg White
One half cup Nonfat Milk; I Used Lactaid
Nonfat Milk
One half cup Water
1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
One fourth teaspoon Pepper

These tiny Bavarianstyle noodles are ready to serve in the time it takes
to make rice...and kids love 'em!

Note 1: Original recipe used 2 cans (14 One half ounce each) nofat chicken broth

Note 2: Original recipe used 1 Tbsp butter

In pot combine broth with 5 C water; over high heat bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, in skillet melt margarine (or butter) over medium heat. Add
onion; cook until softened slightly and lightly browned, 3 5 min. Remove
from heat; set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder, One fourth tsp salt and nutmeg. In bowl lightly beat
egg and egg white with milk and One half C water. Stir in flour mixture until
combined. Spoon into colander over pot of simmering broth mixture. [NOTE:
The batter is very thick. You need a colander with moderately large holes.
We ended up using a potato masher and pushing it thru with our fingers. The
holes were a bit large but it tasted good anyway. We had to adjust the
cooking time for this method by allowing them to cook 1 2 min each
batch.] With spatula press some of batter through holes. Cook until
spaetzel float, about 1 min. Remove with slotted spoon, allowing excess
liquid to drip off; transfer to serving bowl. Repeat cooking remaining
batter; drain and transfer to bowl. Stir parsley, pepper, reserved onion
and remaining salt into spaetzle.

This is wonderful tasting and quick to make.
