Why buy Spätzle when they are so easy to make and taste so much better? Thanks to the wholemeal flour used, the favourite food of many southern Germans provides considerable quantities of niacin. Among other things, this B vitamin ensures beautiful, firm skin and regulates its moisture content.

The pithy spaetzle also goes well with goulash or shredded meat, for example with the Szeged turkey goulash from EAT SMARTER. In this case, do without the sage butter.
