Homemade spaetzle

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups premium flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter plus an additional 2 tbsp
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Preparation:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Then gradually whisk in up to 1 cup of water until you have a smooth, pancake-like batter.

    Beat with a wooden spoon until bubbles form, then stir in 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 cup of the batter in a large-hole colander. Using a silicone spatula, press the batter into the boiling water (you can also use a meat grinder).

    Once the pasta floats to the surface, cook for about 1 minute, then transfer it with a slotted spoon to another colander.
  3. Repeat with the remaining dough. Rinse the spaetzle in cold water to stop the cooking. Serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley.

    If using leftovers, fry the spaetzle in the skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until evenly heated; season with pepper.
