Spaetzle are traditional German dumplings. You can also mince a few pieces of bacon in a pan, heat the cooked spaetzle in the bacon drippings and omit the butter.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
0.5 teaspoons salt
1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
2 eggs
0.25 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients.
2

Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so water just simmers.
3

Meanwhile, mix together flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl.
4

Whisk eggs together in a small bowl.
5

Add eggs alternately with milk to dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.
6

Working in batches, press dough through a spaetzle maker, or through a large-holed colander or metal grater, into simmering water.
7

Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain well.
8

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through.

Serve sprinkled with parsley.
