Print Pin

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 T butter optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium bowl.
  • Add in flour and mix until well combined.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a spaetzle maker on top of the pot.
  • Spoon about 1/4-1/2 cup of the batter into the spaetzle maker. Move the square scraper back and forth. This will cause small dollops of the batter to fall into the water.
  • Boil for 4-6 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon, kitchen spider, or strainer to remove the spaetzle from the water and into a serving dish.
  • Repeat the cooking steps for the rest of your batter.
  • Before serving, season to taste. You may also add a pat of butter to the bowl for even more flavor.
