Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch Freshly ground white pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 gallon boiling hot water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh green onion
Instructions
- To form your dough for spaetzle, you'll mix together flour, pepper, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
- Form a little well in the flour and add egg and milk into the middle, gently mixing to incorporate.
- If your dough is very thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time.
- Dough should be loose like thick pancake batter, but not so thin it's runny - somewhere like pumpkin bread texture.
- Once your dumpling batter is ready, spoon into spaetzle maker (or use cheese grater or slotted spoon with holes) and "push" batter across to let it drop through the holes into the boiling water below.
- Boil for about 5 minutes, until dumplings float.
- When cooked, remove from water with a strainer, and set aside in a large bowl.
- After parboiling dumplings, pan fry in butter in a nonstick pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and crunchy.
- The amount of time will vary based on how much spaetzle you put in the pan and how big your pan is - it pan fries faster if using a large pan and cook in smaller batches so it can crisp and brown a bit.
- Drizzle a little lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper or sliced green onions to serve!
