Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sift flour, salt, and nutmeg together into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten eggs and 1/4 cup of water.
  3. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon, gradually adding more water until the batter is thick, elastic, and slightly sticky, resembling heavy cream.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  5. Using a spaetzle maker, colander with medium holes, or a cutting board, press the batter through into the boiling water in small batches.
  6. Cook for 2 to 5 minutes, or until the noodles float to the surface.
  7. Remove the spaetzle with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drain on paper towels.
  8. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  9. Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently until browned and coated in butter.
  10. Serve immediately while warm.
