Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs, Beaten
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
  1. Stir the flour and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the beaten eggs and milk to the bowl. Stir till well mixed, then beat with a hand mixer for 3 minutes on high or till the batter is smooth and shiny.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the batter is resting, bring a large pot of salted water to a brisk boil.
  4. Set a large colander on the rim of the pot, then pour the batter into the colander.
  5. Using a large wooden spoon or dough scraper, begin pressing the spaetzle batter through the holes in the bottom of the colander. They will begin to cook instantly as they fall into the water.
  6. When all the batter has been pressed through the colander, stir the spaetzle gently and boil for 2 more minutes.
  7. Drain in a clean colander and serve.
Notes
If you want to try brown butter spaetzle, a fabulous variation by the way, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat till it just begins to turn brown. Immediately add the spaetzle to the to the skillet and cook, flipping once when the dumplings are brown on one side.
