Spaetzles Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3-4 quarts chicken broth for serving

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Gradually add the egg mixture into the flour mixture until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be thick and sticky.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
5. Working in batches, use a spaetzle maker or a large-holed colander to press the dough into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spaetzles float to the surface.
6. Remove the spaetzles with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
7. Repeat until all the dough has been used. You should end up with about 8 cups of spaetzles.
8. Using a serving spoon, distribute the spaetzles into bowls. Top with chicken broth and serve hot.

Verdict:

These spaetzles are the perfect comfort food for a cold day. The nutmeg adds a warm touch of spice that makes this dish stand out. Serve with chicken broth for a satisfying classic dish.

Serving suggestions:

For a twist, top your spaetzles with browned butter and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley. Or, try tossing the spaetzles with sautéed mushrooms and spinach for a heartier meal.
