Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 large (150g) eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp (8g) fresh parsley
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking vigorously until the batter is smooth and resembles thick pancake batter.
  4. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
  5. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil.
  6. Hold the spaetzle maker over the steam for 60 seconds to warm the metal.
  7. Fill the press with batter and press firmly and steadily into the boiling water using a circular motion to avoid clumping.
  8. Once the noodles float to the surface (approximately 2-3 minutes), remove them using a slotted spoon.
  9. In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter and sear the noodles until golden, finishing with chopped parsley and black pepper.
