Homemade German Spätzle

Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ tsp  salt
  • tsp pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Sift flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. 
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually add the flour and milk, one at a time. The batter should resemble a thick pancake batter. If it is too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time. If it is too loose, add in a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Spoon the batter into the spätzle maker and drip into the boiling water. You can use the scraper to help move the batter through the spätzle maker as needed. 
  • When all the spätzle has floated to the top of the water and is firm to the touch, remove it with a slotted spoon and place it in a bowl for assembly.
