German Spaetzle Dumplings

Ingredients List

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 pinch freshly ground white pepper

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup milk

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Fill a large pot with water halfway and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

In the meantime, combine the flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Beat the eggs together in a small bowl.

Gradually add the eggs and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth.

Working in small portions, press the dough through a spaetzle maker, or use a large-holed colander or metal grater, into the simmering water.

Cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the spaetzle and drain thoroughly.

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add the spaetzle and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully heated.

Serve the spaetzle topped with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
