• Ready In: 28mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• pepper
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons butter

directions

1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil.
2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth elastic batter.
3. 3. Using a rubber spatula carefully push the batter through the holes of a colander or the large holes of a box grater into the boiling water. The spätzle will cook quickly; you’ll know when it’s done as the noodles will float! Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Continue in this manner until all of the batter has been cooked.
4. 4. Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan until it begins to foam. Add the spätzle in small batches, frying until golden brown.

I was looking for a healthier version of spaetzle using whole wheat flour & this was perfect! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using a spaetzle maker (which I love). Thanks for sharing.
