For Käsespätzle you should cut the onions into fine rings of as even size as possible. (Top and bottom of the onion left and right from the knife, not in line with the blade!) Then fry them *slowly* in half butter and half oil while turning them constantly in order to get them evenly browned. Don't be stingy with oil / butter!!! (You can always drain them afterwards on a paper towel, if you want.) They are ready when they are brown through and through and they start to smell sweet (yes a sweet smell!) and the oil-butter gets foamy. - Store-bought Spätzle aren't bad, but they taste better when you cook them in salt water for a minute or two until they float and the water wants to boil over. I find them a bit gummy right off the packet. Then you may or may not fry them in the fat of the onions - without the onions, of course. Use freshly grated cheese over pre-grated when possible. Emmentaler, Bergkäse, Höhlenkäse are a good starting point, but you can go all the way to really strong cheeses like Limburger if you are adventurous. Mix your cheeses to your liking, there is no rule. BUT *never* let the cheese fry! It should melt only from the heat of the Spätzle and the pan, burner already turned off. Otherwise the cheese disappears and you'll have even more oil and some strong gummy strings. Finally put the onions on top and enjoy!
Congrats on your first weekly vlog, Kendra! Thank you for sharing your German adventures 😀 Would definitely be interested in seeing the cost of living/expenses video. Hoping your professor pulls through with getting you in the class! 🤞🏾
I am loving these vlogs! Makes me miss Germany...even though it's still snowing there....I was like WHAAAAT, and here I was just complaining to S about it being too sunny and wanting to leave for Germany sooner. xo
I was an Au Pair from end 2014 through beggining of 2016, and I got to C1 back then. Buuuuut, I'm back in Brazil since and had kaum die Möglichkeit Deutsch zu sprechen 😫 So coming back next September I'll have to do a Einstufungstest to see where I stand. I guess I'm B2.1, or at least I hope so hehehe let's see
I'm shocked. I'm a bavarian girl so I know how to cook Käsespätzle. Please, never use the ready to cook Spätzle again. It hurts to much. I'm very sad, that you live im Berlin. I live near Frankfurt and it would be so great to get im contact with you.
Update!!! Everyone that was on the waiting list (5 people) was admitted into German C1 this morning, so let the games begin!

You are a life-saver!! Stay tuned for my re-do where I implement these tips...thanks!

Is the lockdown extended again? Last time I checked it was until April 18th
Nice video 😁
Yes 😩 At least through mid-May, but probably longer...
Thank you!
Meine Lieblingsausländerin😂 you need "Bergkäse" and the onions should be darker longer in the pan
Thanks for the tips! I really struggled 😂
