Your Jr. Chef can make spaetzle

Huh? Spaetzle / galuska / nokedli are rustic, twisty German/Austrian/Hungarian egg noodles/dumplings made by pressing batter through an item with holes into boiling salted water. Traditionally served either with melted butter/toasted breadcrumbs or gravy.

Spaetzle (any flour).

http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/spaetzle

Vegan Herbed Whole Wheat Spaetzle. Uses tofu, no egg or milk.

http://veganepicurean.blogspot.com/2009/12/herbed-whole-wheat-spaetzle.html

Non uni-tasker spaetzle-tool substitute: spatula or spoon to scrape batter through some item with large holes spaced widely apart like a steamer insert or colander or pencil-punctured disposable plastic pie plate or slotted spoon; potato ricer.

Notes: do not crowd in boiling water or you’ll get one big spaetzle. Basic recipe of flour/eggs/milk (or water) can be spiced/seasoned to your taste (nutmeg is optional but traditional). Use a slotted spoon or spider to remove the cooked spaetzle to a bowl of cold water (to stop cooking). Reheat with sautéed mushrooms or leftover vegetables. Parental supervision.
