Spaetzle Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and nutmeg. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and milk. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Boil Water
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the Spaetzle
Using a spaetzle maker or a colander, press the batter through directly into the boiling water. Cook until the spaetzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Sauté in Butter
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked spaetzle and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy and golden brown.
Serve
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
