Cook Time 20 minutes
Course Side Dish
Cuisine German

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 20 g melted butter
  • 50 ml milk
  • 50 ml water
  • nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl whisk together flour, eggs, melted (but cold) butter, milk, water and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Stir to get a nice, smooth mixture.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches (3x), use a spaetzle maker or a grater with large holes to press the batter through. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes in a boiling water until your spaetzle floats). Transfer to a bowl filled with cold water to stop the cooking (or use immediately.) Drain the spaetzle, heat a bit of butter in a large pan and cook them for about a minute, just so that they get a nice, golden color.
  • Serve your spaetzle with different sauces, with mushrooms or steak/other meat. Store in an airtight container in a fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.
