Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 whole eggs
2/3 cup milk
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs separately and add them to the flour, stirring with a wire whisk or electric beater. Gradually add the milk, salt and nutmeg, beating until smooth.
Bring a large quantity of water with salt to a boil. Holding a colander over the boiling water, pour the batter into the colander. Press the batter through the holes of the colander into the boiling water with a rubber spatula or large spoon. Stir gently. The spatzle are done when they float on top of the water, in about one minute. Drain and transfer them to a clean towel to dry briefly.
Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet and when bubbling add the spatzle with salt and pepper, tossing and stirring a few minutes. Add the parsley and serve immediately.
