Spätzle Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and slightly sticky. If desired, add nutmeg for flavor.

2. 2

   Cook the Spätzle

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a Spätzle maker or a colander, press the dough through into the boiling water. Cook until the Spätzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain and Toss

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the Spätzle from the boiling water and drain. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Spätzle and toss to coat with the butter until slightly crispy.

4. 4

   Garnish and Serve

   Transfer the Spätzle to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
