There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Spaetzle

From Ben's book fragment on Pennsylvania Dutch cookery - pg 7

1 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
  1. Add milk to flour slowly, stirring constantly to keep mixture smooth.
  2. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Salt and mix well.
  3. When cooking in boiling salted or meat broth, pour the batter from a shallow bowl, tilting it over the boiling kettle.
  4. With a sharp knife slice off pieces of the batter into the boiling liquid. 
  5. Dip knife in the liquid before each cut to prevent sticking.
