Keywords: Healthy, < 15 Mins, Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs 🥚
- 1/2 cup milk 🥛
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 2 tablespoons butter 🧈
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth, thick batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes if you have the time; this helps in achieving a better texture for your spaetzle.
-
Heat the Water: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Generously season the water with salt—this enhances the flavor of the spaetzle as they cook.
-
Cook the Spaetzle: Using a colander or a specialized spaetzle maker, press the batter through the large holes directly into the boiling water. To avoid overcrowding, cook the spaetzle in batches. Allow each batch to return to a boil.
-
Check for Doneness: The spaetzle are cooked when they float to the surface of the water. Remove them using a slotted spoon or strainer and transfer to a warm serving dish.
-
Add Butter: While the remaining batches are cooking, toss each batch of spaetzle with a little melted butter to keep them from sticking together and to add a delicious flavor.
-
Serve: Serve the spaetzle warm with your favorite gravy or sauce. Enjoy the delightful texture and flavor of this classic dish!
