Spatzli (Egg Noodles)
Description
These traditional Swiss Sp&# 195;¤tzle are soft, pillowy egg noodles that offer a comforting texture and mild, eggy flavor. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and water, they are incredibly versatile. Serve them as a hearty side dish alongside stews and roasts, or toss with melted butter and nutmeg for a standalone vegetarian main. Their tender consistency makes them perfect for absorbing rich sauces or soaking up broth in soups. A timeless classic that brings warmth and home-style satisfaction to any family dinner table.Ingredients
Directions
-
Sift flour, salt, and nutmeg together in a large mixing bowl.
-
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the beaten eggs and 1/4 cup of water.
-
Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides.
-
Add enough additional water to achieve a dough that is slightly sticky yet elastic and stiff enough to hold its shape briefly.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
-
Using a spätzle maker, colander with medium holes, or a cutting board, press or cut the dough into the boiling water.
-
Cook the noodles for about 5 minutes, or until they rise to the surface.
-
Lift the cooked noodles out with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
-
Melt butter in a pan over low heat and toss the noodles to brown slightly, or serve immediately with your chosen dish.
