A main course dish that's homemade which reminded me more of pasta, yet was kind of scrambled up like eggs. Anyone know what that would be? |
Hi!
I think you are looking for an Austrian recipe called "Sterz" or "Mehlsterz". The ingredients are flour, salt and boiling water and lard. You eat it with a soup of sour cream. It really sounds not good, but it is a delicious winter meal, if you have nearly no ingredients at home and the snow is lying high. Best regards Katjana |

Thanks for your input but as I remember (last time I had it was 50 years ago) it looked like scrambled eggs but FIRMER. Mom always made it with a dandoline (sp) salad (YUCK) It was a main dish. Back then we seldom ate meat so it was a basic staple. Thanks

No, this is not Spätzle (Spaezle). Spätzle are made with eggs and the meal is more "wet". Sterz is drier and a little bit crispy.
It is hard to describe. This are to total other meals although they look similar, if you would make a photo of them. Oh, by the way, Schmarrn looks like these both, too. Schmarrn is like pancake, only a little bit less fluid in the raw condition and cut up in small pieces with raisins. I hope you are now not confused ;-) |

It is hard to describe. These are two total other meals although they look similar, if you would make a photo of them. Oh, by the way, Schmarrn looks like these both, too. Schmarrn is like pancake, but a little bit less fluid in the raw condition and cut up in small pieces with raisins before serving. Sterz you eat with sour cream soup, Spätzle a little bit scalloped with cheese you take with salad and Schmarrn you eat with plum- or apple compote. I hope you are now not confused ;-) |
