Spaetzle Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4-6 quarts of salted water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center.
2. In another mixing bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in milk.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the well of the flour mixture. Stir together until well blended and a smooth dough forms.
4. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
5. In a large pot, bring the salted water to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough through the holes and into the boiling water. The spaetzle will float to the surface when cooked. This process may need to be done in batches.
7. Using a slotted spoon or a spider, remove the cooked spaetzle from the water and transfer to a serving bowl.
8. Repeat until all the dough is used.
9. Serve hot with butter, gravy, or sautéed vegetables.

Verdict:

This spaetzle recipe is easy to make and yields delicious, fluffy spaetzle. The nutmeg adds a nice flavor to the dish, making it perfect for pairing with rich sauces or sautéed vegetables.

Serving Suggestions:

Spaetzle is a versatile side dish that goes well with a variety of main courses, including roasted meats, poultry, and seafood. It also pairs well with creamy sauces and soups. Try serving it with sautéed mushrooms and onions or with a simple butter sauce and Parmesan cheese for a delicious and satisfying meal.
