German Spaetzle

This recipe is perfect for the cooler temperatures that have grabbed the country!  Spaetzle is the perfect side dish for any roasted meat and vegetable.  You can add your favorite herbs to create your own custom delicacy!  Enjoy!

1 cup all-purpose flour            1/4 cup milk
2 eggs                                      1/2 teaspoon salt and ground nutmeg
1 galloon hot broth                  2 T butter
2 T chopped fresh parsley

Mix together flour, salt and nutmeg.  Beats eggs well and add to liquid ingredients.  Mix until smooth. 

Press dough through either a spaeztle maker or a colander with wide holes. 

Drop slowly into hot broth (chicken or beef) and cook for 5 to 8 minutes.  Drain well

Saute spaetzle in melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley or other herbs.

I like to serve my spaetzle with a light brown gravy.  This deepens the flavor and is a great way to meld the whole meal together!
