While living in Germany, I learned how to make my own Spatzle, and I love it! Hope you give it a try.. this is the best recipe I've used.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of all purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup of milk shopping list
- (butter for frying and herbs of your choice) shopping list
- olive oil for tossing after boiling. shopping list
How to make it
- Combine flour, salt and nutmeg. Add eggs and mix. Pour milk into the dough little by little, until a smooth batter forms, slightly thinner than brownie batter. Let rest at least five minutes. Bring two quarts of water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a heavy 4-5 quart pan. Plan on boiling at least two batches from this recipe.
- Set a large colander, one with large holes, over the saucepan and press the dough, a few spoonfuls at a time, through the holes directly into the water. Boil for 5-8 minutes until the noodles are tender to the bite. Remove noodles with a slotted spoon and place in cold water then drain a little longer in a sieve or mesh strainer. Toss with a little olive oil. When ready to use, heat a skillet and place butter or margarine in the skillet over a medium high heat. Add spatzle and saute, until golden on the edges. Serve with gravy, put in soup or add butter and herbs. Tip: A variation is to add herbs to the spatzle after it is cooked, such as parsley, chives, thyme, sage, or nutmeg. Salt and pepper spatzle to taste. Spatzle can be prepared the day ahead of serving, but toss it well with oil and refrigerate. Then when ready to use, do the skillet process.
