Spaetzli Recipe
Spaetzli
Ingredients
- 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- Pinch nutmeg
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, melted
Preparation
In standing mixer with paddle attachment or bowl with wooden spoon, mix flour, salt and nutmeg.
Make well in centre and add eggs; beat on slow speed until eggs are incorporated. Gradually pour in up to 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) water to make thick smooth batter (slightly thicker than pancake batter); beat on medium speed until big blisters appear on surface, about 2 minutes (or beat with wooden spoon in bowl, about 5 minutes).
Cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Place batter in large-holed colander over large pot of boiling salted water. Push batter through holes with spatula. Boil dumplings until they float to surface, 2 to 3 minutes; drain and mix gently with butter until coated.
Makes 8 servings.
Tip: If making ahead, remove from pot with slotted ladle and place in chilled water. When cold, drain. Reheat in nonstick skillet with butter.
