GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Spätzle:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and nutmeg; pour eggs into middle of flour mixture; beat with a wooden spoon. Stir in enough water to make dough slightly sticky yet still elastic. Place dough in a colander with medium holes, and press dough through holes directly into boiling water. Let dumplings cook until they rise to surface, about 5 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Working in batches, place butter in a large skillet over medium high heat; add noodles and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
