Number Of Ingredients 7

For the pan of cooked spaetzle:
3 eggs, beaten and frothy
3 cups flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Sift the flour and add the salt into a separate bowl. In a mixer, beat the eggs until fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the flour and milk, alternately until thoroughly combined; do not overmix. Allow the dough to rest for at least an hour; this can be refrigerated. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker*, fill the well with the dough and slide it back and forth over the boiling water. Stir to keep them from sticking together. When they are done, spaetzle with float to the top. Drain and cook in unsalted butter, garnished with finely chopped fresh parsley. *If you don't have a Spaetzle Maker, you can pour the dough into a colander with large holes and press through with a spatula.

Tips:

  • Use the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for spätzle, but you can also use a mixture of all-purpose and semolina flour for a chewier texture.
  • The dough should be wet: The dough should be wet enough to easily pass through a spätzle maker, but not so wet that it's sticky.
  • Use a large pot of boiling water: This will help to prevent the spätzle from sticking together.
  • Cook the spätzle in batches: Don't overcrowd the pot, or the spätzle will stick together.
  • Cook the spätzle until it floats: This is a sign that the spätzle is cooked through.
  • Drain the spätzle and rinse it with cold water: This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the spätzle from sticking together.
  • Serve the spätzle immediately: Spätzle is best served fresh, but you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spätzle is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
