    Rita~'s Note:

    This side is served with duck, roast pork or Cornish game hens. This is so tasty, easy and very quick! I do have a Spaetzle maker but if you don't use a grater or a slotted spoon.

      Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
    2. 2
      Combine milk, eggs, and nutmeg in processor; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add salt and flour pulsing until batter is just smooth, about 30 seconds (batter will be very thick and sticky).

      This is fabulous! I too was a first time spaetzel maker and made this to go with a pork loin for Father's Day. I was easy to make - the directions are perfect. I cooked the batter in 3 batches. Everybody raved! I've had spaetzel that was gummy and this had a little chew but was also creamy tasting. I'd always heard to make spaetzle with a colander and the only hard part was my smaller colander had too small holes so I used the big one that fits in my tall stockpock - it was a bit unwieldly and it took my DH and I a bit of juggling but it worked great. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for a smaller colander with just the right sized holes for spaetzel! Thanks Rita for another great recipe. Made for ZWT 7 for the food.commandos

      I'd never had, let alone made spaetzel before. I may make it quite often now! DH loves any kind of homemade "noodle" so this was a huge hit. I loved the nutmeg and, of course, brown butter and sage is perfection in my book! Thanks Rita!

      I absolutely love this recipe too! I made half a batch by dividing the measurements in half, except for eggs, butter, and salt. I used 3 egg yolks, 1.5 T butter, and 1 t of salt. I didn't have sage and yellow onions at the time, instead I used terragon and 1 medium shallot. IT WORKS!!!
      I spent 4.5 years in Germany, and this spaetzle recipe brings back happy memories.
      Thanks a million, Rita =D
