Short Description

Savour our traditional German Spätzle—tender egg noodles sautéed in butter and seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices for a classic, comforting side dish.

Ingredients

8 eggs, beaten

2 lbs of flour

3 cups of milk

Preparation

Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl. In a mixing bowl with a dough hook, place the flour and gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the flour. Mix on medium speed for approximately 15-20 minutes or until bubbles form.


Bring a 2-quart pot of salted water to a boil. Use a Spätzle press or a colander with large holes. Place the mixture into the press over the boiling water. (If using a colander, scrape back and forth to let the batter drop into the water). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float; remove them from the water and transfer to cold water to cool.


When ready to serve, melt some butter in a skillet, add the Spätzle, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until heated through. Add any spices to enhance the flavour.
