Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔-1 cup whole milk or water I used milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add in your eggs and mix well.
- Starting with 2/3 cup milk or water, begin to add your liquid stirring constantly until you have a smooth, not too thick, not too thin dough.
- Allow the batter to sit, covered for about 10 minutes.
- The dough should stay together well but not be solid. It needs to be able to squeeze through the spaetzle maker smoothly, not run through it to take too much effort to get it through the holes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Press the spaetzle dough through the spaetzle maker straight into the boiling water, you may want to work in batches to cook the noodles evenly.
- Cook the noodles until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Remove the cooked noodles with a skimmer spoon and keep working with the remaining dough.
- Once the noodles are done cooking you can serve them immediately with your sauce of choice, plain with some parsley, or fry them up a bit in a skillet with butter, until they have begun to crisp.
