Spaetzle Dumplings

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 pinch freshly ground white pepper

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup milk

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

• Directions

  1. Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so water just simmers.

  2. Meanwhile, mix together flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl.

  3. Whisk eggs together in a small bowl. Add eggs alternately with milk to dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.

  4. Working in batches, press dough through a spaetzle maker, or through a large-holed colander or metal grater, into simmering water. Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain well.

  5. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
