#format mdown # Spaetzle * **Serves:** 1 * [Source](https://www.daringgourmet.com/homemade-german-spaetzle/#recipe) * **Contributor:** MikeCrute ## Ingredients * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt * 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 4 large eggs * 1/2 cup milk * butter for serving ## Instructions 1. The Spatzle batter can be mixed by hand or by using a stand mixer which is much easier. Add the flour, salt and nutmeg (if using) to the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir to combine. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the eggs in it. Add the milk (start with using slightly less and add more as needed). Attach a paddle attachment to the stand mixer and "knead" the dough for about 10 minutes or until bubbles appear. After 10 minutes or so of beating, use a wooden spoon to scoop and pull the dough. If bubbles/holes appear, the dough is done 1. Bring at least 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Using a Spatzle maker of your choice, press the noodles into the simmering water and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles float to the top. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the noodles to a colander to drain the hot water and then to large bowl of ice water. After a minute or two transfer them to a colander to drain completely. Before serving, warm them through in a skillet with some melted butter.
