Homemade Spaetzle

Step 1 -Mix the flour, salt, and your nutmeg into a large bowl.

Step 2 -Beat the eggs and then milk together into a different small mixing bowl.

Step 3 -Pour your milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and mix the ingredients to create a smooth batter. You're looking for a batter’s consistency that slowly drips off of a whisk or a spatula. You can add in more flour if it's too wet, if it's too dry add more milk. Allow the batter to rest.

Step 4 -Bring a large pot, 2/3 full of salted water, to a boil.

Step 5 -Pour in the batter through a spaetzle maker or through a cheese grater straight into the boiling water. The spaetzle will cook very fast and it will float to the top of the boiling water when it is done cooking.

Step 6 -Move the dumplings with a spoon when they float to the top.

Step 7 -Finally, melt 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet over medium heat, cook it until the butter smells toasty and begins to brown.

Step 8 -Add in the spaetzle, and then sauté it for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure to stir it often.

Step 9 -Sprinkle it with parsley, and serve warm.
