Basic Bavarian Spaetzle Recipe (Spätzle)

Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs
  • 500g / 4 cups pastry flour
  • 250ml / 1 cup milk
  • 40g / 1/4 cup semolina
  • Salt
  • 50g / scant 1/4 cup butter

Let’s create something tasty:

  1. Beat the eggs. In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs, milk, semolina, and 2-3 pinches of salt, and blend with a mixer until a firm dough forms.
  2. Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to boil. Using a spaetzle maker or potato ricer and working in batches, drop the dough into the boiling water, and allow it to simmer at low heat for 2-3 minutes. The spaetzle are done when they float to the top. Pour the spaetzle into a colander, and allow to drain thoroughly. Melt the butter in a pan, add the spaetzle, stir well, and cook at low heat for 3-4 minutes.
