Description

German Spaetzle Dumplings are soft egg noodles or small dumplings made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk. These traditional German dumplings are boiled and often pan-fried in butter, making them a perfect side dish for hearty meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing, optional)
  • Salted water for boiling
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and nutmeg.
  2. Add eggs and milk, and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  4. Using a spaetzle maker, colander with large holes, or cutting board and knife, press or cut batter into boiling water in small batches.
  5. Cook until dumplings float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander to drain.
  6. If desired, melt butter in a large skillet and sauté spaetzle until lightly browned.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot as a side or main dish.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest helps develop better texture.
  • Pan-frying the cooked spaetzle adds a delicious crisp edge.
  • Serve alongside roasted meats, stews, or with gravy and cheese.
