4
cups
Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour
1
teaspoon
salt
1/2
teaspoon
nutmeg
4
large eggs
1 1/4
cup
milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl - whisk together flour, salt & nutmeg.
Add in eggs and milk.
Stir. Stir well. Keep stirring. Stir for a few minutes, get a little workout :)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Press in spaetzle. Do not overcrowd pot - you will have to cook a few batches.
Stir a few times and cook until it floats. Let it simmer for another minute or two.
Remove spaetzle with a slotted spoon and continue with remaining batter.
I like to add a tablespoon or two of butter to bowl of cooked spaetzle to keep it from sticking while cooking remainder.
Spaetzle can be panfried with a little butter, tossed with brown butter or served with any sauce or stew you desire. Enjoy :)
