Spatzle

Spatzle

Cook Time: ing.

Ingredients

  • Initially from the Joy of Cooking.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Beat together in a seperate bowl
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water or milk
  • Bring 6 cups of salted water or broth to a boil. In my opinion this
  • Force the batter through a spatzle machine (or potato ricer) into
  • boiling liquid. Wait until all the bits float to the top, then remove
  • with a strainer.
  • Possible use:
  • After 5+ minutes of drying, lightly fry in butter with a splash of mustard.

Instructions

  1. Add to the flour mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon.
  2. should be 4" of liquid rather than absolute measure.
  3. I then like to let a small amount at a time dry in a colander.
