KAESESPAETZLE (HOMEMADE SPAETZLE NOODLES WITH CHEESE AND CARAMEL
This is something hearty and warming for a winter day, after spending hours on the ski slopes or working outdoors. Try adding chopped parsley to the Spaetzle dough or puréed spinach or pumpkin for the extra kick of flavor (adjust amount of flour then).

Steps:
- Dough: Beat flour, milk, eggs and salt thoroughly until a slightly sticky but elastic dough forms.
- Heat the butter in a pan and add chopped onions. Let brown thoroughly on medium heat.
- Using a spätzle machine (like a mandolin slicer with larger holes) or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. (Spätzle experts use a wooden chopping board and knife to rasp the dough into the water).
- Let Spätzle boil until they rise to the surface.
- Butter a oven proof bowl or pan and transfer Spätzle to it. Mix with cheese (either freestyle or one layer Spätzle, one layer cheese, finishing with a cheese layer).
- Put pan in the oven (about 180°C to keep Spätzle warm and let cheese melt).
- When the cheese is melted, get Spätzle out of the oven and garnish with the caramelised onions and cives.
- (You can omit the oven step and devour the Spätzle right away as well).
- Serve Käsespätzle with mixed or green salad.
VORARLBERG CHEESE SPAETZLE (DROP NOODLES)
I lived in western Austria for a good long while. This is a traditional dish that really needs to be made with the local cheeses. In this country I've found Appenzeller (a firm alpine cheese) at Murray's in New York -- and they have a mail order service. Use a spaetzle maker if you can locate one. It looks like an oblong piece of metal with holes the size of peas, with an attached funnel to hold the batter that slides back and forth to force the batter through. If not, you can force the batter through through any colander with larger holes, or simply use a spoon to push small chunks (no bigger than a piece of elbow macaroni) into the boiling water. The crisply fried onions are crucial to flavor and texture. Serve with a green or cucumber salad. Note the measurements are metric.

Steps:
- Mix together the flour, eggs, salt and milk into a rough and very thick batter. Don't over mix -- if you can see a little flour, that's okay. If the batter seems very wet, add another teaspoon of flour.
- Bring a very large pot of water to the boil.
- Use the spaetzle maker, colander, or other method to force the batter into the boiling water. Don't do more than enough to make a single layer on top of the water.
- The noodles will rise to the top. They need only about ten seconds, after which they are scooped out with a slotted spoon and put in a large bowl.
- Each layer of noodles should be sprinkled, liberally, with the grated cheese.
- Continue with the drop noodles, layer by layer, until you've gone through all the batter.
- Cover the last layer with what remains of the cheese.
- Cover the whole bowl with aluminum foil and put in the oven on the lowest setting to keep warm.
- Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet.
- When it's very hot, add the onions. Lower heat to medium low, and let the onions cook until they are crisp and brown.
- Remove the bowl of cheese drop noodles from the oven and pour the buttery, crisp onions over the top.
- Note that you can increase or decrease this recipe by using this formula: per serving, 1 egg, 100 grams flour, and 1/8 liter milk, with additional cheese to taste.
