No, after brushing, swish warm water. it works every time.

 

Has anyone here ever tried almond butter on apples?

 

It’s delicious. 

How to make spätzle, a kind of pasta eaten in southern Germany and parts of Austria (I’ll add a photo when I get on the computer):

Ingredients:
250g flour
2 eggs
Large pinch of salt
Water (enough to give it the correct consistency)
Large pan full of salted water (as if you were cooking pasta)

Stir the salt into the flour.
Mix in the eggs one by one using a mixer.
Mix in the water little by little (still with the mixer) until the mixture has the consistency of a sticky dough, and stays together in one chunk.
Bring the water in the pan to the boil.
Put the dough on a wooden chopping board, on which you have poured a bit of water.
Flaten out the dough to about 0.5cm-1cm thickness.
Using a knife, cut off thin strips of dough, straight into the pan of boiling water, in a kind of sliding motion. It is at this point that the water on the board is essential because it stops the dough from clinging to the board, and allows you to make good-looking slices.
After about two minutes, remove from the pan of boiling water.
Serve warm with meat and a thick German sauce, maybe with vegetables.

Enjoy!

That last step sounds an awful lot like how “dao xiao mian” is cooked. Also, pfft, Europe, measuring things in masses.

 

I’m going to have to try making that when I get home for the break.

My housemate who gave me this recipe uses no masses, just by how he feels.  I’m a beginner in German cooking so needed masses XD

“Carbonara” for 2 (basically mac+eggs+bacon)

 

300gr Maccheroni (mac? you called them that way i think)

2 eggs 

Bacon (absolutely without salt)

Oil (better olive oil as usual)

salt 

chili pepper

Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

 

Boil the maccheroni as usual, in the meanwhile warm a pot with the oil inside and when it’s warm enough put in first the chili and than the bacon (cut the bacon in little pieces!), add salt.

When it’s all well fried turn it off.

When maccheroni are ready put them in the pot where you fried the bacon, break the raw eggs inside the pot with everything else except the eggshells ( :stuck_out_tongue: ) and turn on the flame (you obviously have to mix everything with a fork or a wooden spoon).

Once the eggs are cooked serve with grated Parmesan cheese, if you have some.

Ima have to try that.

 

It has bacon so it’s good.
