Wilkommen Old World German Restaurant Spatzle
(German Egg Noodles)
6 whole eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 to 3/4 cup water
The best way to measure out the ingredients is to say you will need
equal amounts of egg and flour. For instance 1 cup of eggs to 1 cup
of flour. Mix eggs, flour, salt and nutmeg together. Add water
gradually until batter is stiff but smooth. Using a perforated pan
and the ball of your hand, push batter through holes into boiling
salted water.
There should only be one layer of Sp�tzle at a time in the cooking
water. Stir the Sp�tzle with a spoon so that they do not stick
together. Cook noodles for about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove Sp�tzle from
water with a perforated spoon and place in a bowl if iced water to
ensure not to overcook the noodles. To reheat Sp�tzle, saut� in a
little butter and season before serving.
Use caution when cooking this dish, Make sure that the perforated
pan can rest securely over the pan of boiling water.
