Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 C milk
- 3 C flour
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t nutmeg
Instructions
- Beat eggs until foamy, then add milk
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and nutmeg
- Add flour mix to egg mix a little at a time
- The dough will be very stiff and elastic
- Consistency of the dough is the most important thing
- If dough seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to desired consistency
- Fill the square basket of the spaetzle maker and place it over a pot of boiling water or cooking soup
- Slide the basket back and forth, causing the noodles to drop into the boiling liquid
- Stir to keep them from sticking together
- When done, they will rise to the surface (~2–3 minutes)
- Drain in a strainer if not cooked in a soup
- Serve buttered, or drain and sauté in butter until lightly browned
