Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 6 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a separate small bowl.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and whisk the ingredients to create a smooth batter. You're looking for a batter that slowly drips off a whisk or spatula. If it's too wet add more flour, if it's too dry add for milk. Let the batter rest while you prepare to cook the spaetzle.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Pour the batter through a spaetzle maker or through the holes of a cheese grater directly into the boiling water.
- The spaetzle will cook very fast and they will float to the top of the boiling water when cooked through. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon once they float to the top.
- Melt ¼ cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the butter smells toasty and begins to brown. Add the spaetzle, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes
- Consistency is Key: Ensure the batter is not too thick or too thin; it should slowly drip off a whisk or spatula.
- Nutmeg is Optional: While it adds a lovely, warm flavor, you can omit it if preferred.
- Boiling Water: Wait for the water to reach a rolling boil before adding the spaetzle.
- Sautéing is Optional: They are delicious simply boiled, but sautéing adds a delightful golden crunch.
- Herb Garnish: Parsley is recommended, but chives or thyme also work beautifully.
