A few Christmases ago she bought all of us "Spaetzle Makers" which make these tiny little drop noodles. From what I have read- the more traditional German way to serve these is pretty simple- brown in butter! Today I made Spaetzle and served with some simple steamed cabbage and pork chops. It was simple, basic and delicious.
German Spaetzle
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk ( I used skim with fine results!)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
pinch of pepper
Mix together dry ingredients.
Beat eggs well. Add alternately with milk to dry mixture and stir until smooth.
Drop in boiling water (or use spaetzle maker to push through into water) and cook until floats.
Remove from boiling water with slotted spoon, draining well.
Once all cooked- saute cooked spaetzle in a few tablespoons of butter.
Enjoy every buttery, noodley minute of them!
