Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
Add the eggs and milk gradually, mixing continuously until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Using a spätzle maker or a large-holed colander, press small portions of the dough directly into the boiling water. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Once the spätzle floats to the surface (this typically takes 2–3 minutes), use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Drain the spätzle and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the drained spätzle and sauté for 3–5 minutes until lightly browned and heated through.
Transfer the spätzle to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
