Ingredients

• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour , plus more as needed
• 3 tablespoons milk , or as needed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon crème fraîche , sour cream, or plain yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk flour, milk, egg, crème fraîche, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until batter drips slowly off whisk. Add a bit more flour if batter seems too thin; add a bit more milk if batter seems too thick.
2. 2 Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Push a spoonful of batter into the simmering water through the smooth side of a cheese grater with fairly large holes using a spatula.
3. 3 Cook spätzle in batches until they rise to water's surface, about 3 minutes. Remove spätzle with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining batter.
