Spatzle (german dumplings)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 dash Nutmeg
2 Egg; slightly beaten
½ cup Milk; approximately
8 cups Water
¼ teaspoon Salt

Directions

In large bowl combine flour, salt, and nutmeg. With a wooden spoon, beat eggs into flour mixture. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until mixture forms a smooth, soft, moist, dough. If the dough is too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time. Put water and salt in a sauce pan and bring to boil. Put a small amount of dough in a colander and press with the back of a spoon over the boiling water to form dumplings. Cook uncovered five to seven minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Repeat with rest of dough. Serve with butter or add to soups.

NOTES : Add these to soups or serve them with butter as a side dish.
