Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk.
  3. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or stand mixer on medium speed for 3–5 minutes until the batter is smooth, slightly glossy, and small air bubbles appear on the surface.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer.
  5. Using a Spaetzle press or pushing the dough through the holes of a colander, press the batter directly into the simmering water in small portions.
  6. Wait for the noodles to rise to the surface (usually 2–3 minutes), then remove them with a slotted spoon.
  7. Optional: Sauté the boiled noodles in a large skillet with 1 tbsp of butter until golden brown, then toss with finely chopped fresh parsley.
