Description

Spaetzle dumplings are soft, bite-sized noodles that take minutes to prepare. Ideal for pairing with chicken or serving with a bit of melted butter and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup 1/3 2% milk
2 teaspoons salt
8 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour, eggs, milk, and salt until the dough is smooth and sticky.
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil.
Pour the dough into a colander or spaetzle maker coated with cooking spray and position it over the boiling water.
Use a wooden spoon to press the dough through the colander, letting small pieces drop into the boiling water.
Cook for about 2 minutes or until the dumplings are tender and start to float.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, toss them with butter, and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
