Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 6 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the flour and salt.
- In another bowl whisk the eggs then whisk in the milk.
- 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.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
- 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.
- 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.
