German Spaetzle Dumplings
A traditional German type of egg noodle, spaetzle is soft, chewy and delicious, perfect as a side dish or main course.
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour (1 cup)
- ground nutmeg (0.5 teaspoon)
- salt (0.5 teaspoon)
- freshly ground white pepper (1 pinch)
- eggs (2 )
- milk (0.25 cup)
- butter (2 tablespoons)
- chopped fresh parsley (2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so water just simmers.
- Meanwhile, mix together flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl.
- Whisk eggs together in a small bowl.
- Add eggs alternately with milk to dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.
- Working in batches, press dough through a spaetzle maker, or through a large-holed colander or metal grater, into simmering water.

- Melt butter in a large skillet. Add spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through.
