Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- grated parmesan , for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the 4 large eggs.
- Create a well in the flour mixture and pour in the whisked eggs and ½ cup of milk.
- Mix until well combined into a thick batter.
- In a large pot, boil 2 quarts of water with 1 teaspoon of salt, then reduce to a simmer.
- Using a spaetzle maker, press the noodle dough into the simmering water.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the noodles float to the surface.
- Remove the cooked noodles with a slotted spoon and place them into a bowl of ice water.
- Repeat until all dough is cooked.

- Add the drained spaetzle to the skillet and cook for another minute until warmed through.

Notes
Be sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly for a smooth batter.
Using ice water helps stop the cooking process and keeps the noodles from sticking together.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a covered dish until ready to serve.
