German Spaetzle
Ingredients
1¾ cups flour all purpose flour
4 large eggs
⅓ cup water
¼ teaspoon nutmeg ground
3 tablespoons butter unsalted
¼ cup parsley optional, fresh parsley, minced
Directions
In a large bowl combine flour, eggs, and ground nutmeg. Beat with a hand mixer and slowly pour water into the batter. Continue to beat until the batter has a thick and sticky consistency.
Cover the bowl with a towel and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt.
Place the spaetzle maker on top of the pot. Wet the scraper.
Pour a little bit of the batter on top of the spaetzle maker. Use the scraper to push the batter through the holes of the spaetzle maker into the simmering water.
Cook until the spaetzle rise to the top. About 2-3 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon and transfer the cooked spaetzle into an empty bowl. Repeat until you’ve used up the batter.
Melt butter in a large frying pan. Toss the cooked spaetzle in the melted butter and fry for about a minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
