German Spaetzle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk (or water)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
water, for boiling
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Mix eggs, flour, and milk. Add seasonings to taste. (Batter will be pretty thick.).
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
Using a spaetzle maker or colander (or anything that has holes in it), push batter through the holes into boiling water.
Spaetzle is ready when it floats. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain the water out.
Add butter to a saucepan and melt over medium-high heat.
Add spaetzle and saute. (Add onions and garlic for extra flavor.).
Serve and enjoy!
