- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so water just simmers. Meanwhile, mix together flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs together in a small bowl. Add eggs alternately with milk to dry ingredients. Stir until smooth. Working in batches, press dough through a spaetzle maker, or through a large-holed colander or metal grater, into simmering water. Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain well. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
