Spatzle (Tiny Dumplings)

DIRECTIONS

• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and nutmeg.
• Break eggs into flour mixture and mix with a fork, then slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• In a large saucepan bring 2 quarts of water , with a pinch of salt, to a boil.
• If you do not have a spatzle cutter, place a colander with very large holes over the pot of water and with a spoon press dough through the colander directly into the boiling water.
• Stir to keep the spatzle from sticking together.
• Cook about 5-8 minutes, or until tender.
• Toss with butter and serve.
