Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and thicken.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
Using a spätzle maker, potato ricer, or colander with large holes, press the batter through into the boiling water. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Allow the spätzle to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the surface of the water. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked spätzle and transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess water.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked spätzle and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and heated through.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with your favorite low-carb German dish, such as bratwurst or schnitzel!
