Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine the flour and salt.
  2. In another bowl whisk the eggs then whisk in the milk.
  3. Pour the eggs into the flour and mix until combined and a dough forms. The dough shouldn't be runny. If it is, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the batter takes on the texture of thick pancake batter. If the batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water until it again forms a pancake batter consistency. Cover the dough with plastic wrap for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  5. Scoop 1/3 of the batter into the spaetzle maker and use a spatula to push the batter through. Let them cook for 3 minutes then remove with a pasta spider or slotted spoon. Repeat for remaining batches.
  6. Toss with butter and serve. The spaetzle can also be pan fried in butter if you like. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A spaetzle maker works best but you can easily use a colander or even a potato ricer.  You just need something with holes.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be pan fried in butter to reheat.
