Spaetzle Recipe: Traditional German Comfort
Elevate your culinary repertoire with my traditional Spaetzle recipe. These soft and pillowy German egg noodles, sautéed to perfection, are the ideal complement to hearty main dishes. Discover how to master the art of making and sautéing these delightful noodles, adding an authentic touch to your dining experience. I love serving this with my pork schnitzel.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk, more or less
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
3
Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a medium, sticky batter forms.
4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
5
Hold the spaetzle batter over the boiling water and use a spaetzle maker, colander, or slotted spoon to press small amounts of batter through the holes, allowing them to drop into the boiling water. Alternatively, you can spread the batter on a cutting board and use a knife to cut small pieces directly into the boiling water.
6
Cook the spaetzle for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked spaetzle to a colander to drain.
7
In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the cooked spaetzle and sauté for a few minutes until they are lightly browned.
8
Season the sautéed spaetzle with salt and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
9
Serve the sautéed spaetzle alongside the pork schnitzel or your favorite entrée.
