SPAETZLE

Brown the meat in the shortening in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook until the onion is tender. Add the water, grated potato and seasonings. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender. Makes 4 to 6 servings of soup. SPAETZLE: Combine the flour and salt; stir in the egg. Gradually add the water until the dough is stiff but smooth. Place on a wet cutting board; flatten. With a wet knife, scrape small pieces of dough off and drop into boiling salted water. Cook one layer of spaetzle at a time; boiling gently 5 to 8 minutes or until done. Remove with a perforated spoon. Serve with Hungarian Goulash Soup, Pea, Lentil, or Tomato soups. It may also be served as a side dish, either tossed with hot melted butter or sauteed in butter. For variety sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs or grated Parmesan Cheese.
