Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
• 2 eggs eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Get all your ingredients ready.
2. Fill a large pot with water, about halfway, and bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs together.
5. Gradually add the egg mixture and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth dough.
6. Working in batches, press the dough through a spaetzle maker, a large-holed colander, or a metal grater directly into the simmering water.
7. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider to remove the spaetzle, and drain thoroughly.
8. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the cooked spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through.
9. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately!
