Cabbage and Noodle (Spaetzle (Little Dumplings))
Recipe from my Grandma Jabbusch that my mom Edna Nelson made often
If you use flat egg noodles you have the Hungarian dish called Haluski.
We all prefer it with the Spaetzle.
Look on the internet under Spaetzle maker and there are many different pictures to get one. Also how to make the dumplings without one.
RECIPE NOTE: If you use a small head of cabbage cut rest of the recipe in half.
