   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, milk, eggs, 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, and nutmeg until well blended. Alternatively, you can use a blender to achieve a smooth batter consistency.

2. Rest the Batter:

   • Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the batter to slightly thicken.

3. Boil Water:

   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove.

4. Prepare Colander:

   • Set a colander over the pot of boiling water.

5. Cook Spatzle:

   • Spoon half of the batter into the colander.
   • Using a wooden spoon, press the batter through the colander and into the boiling water. The size of the spatzle will vary depending on the speed at which you push it through.

6. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook the spatzle for 8 minutes until they are tender.

7. Repeat Process:

   • Transfer the cooked spatzle to a heated bowl.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

9. Serve:

   • Serve the Hungarian spatzle hot as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite Hungarian dishes or as a standalone meal.

Tips:

• Adjust the flour-to-egg ratio as needed based on the consistency of the batter. The batter should be smooth and easy to push through the colander.
• While a spatzle maker can streamline the process, a colander works just as well.
• Experiment with different serving options, as spatzle pairs well with a variety of dishes.
• For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs or spices into the batter.
• Enjoy the wholesome goodness of homemade Hungarian spatzle with family and friends! 🍽️🇭🇺
