Spaetzle (fresh noodles)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the centre and add the water and eggs. Stir with a fork until the dough is smooth.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place a spaghetti colander with large holes (or a potato ricer with large holes) above a bowl, to avoid spills. Pour a quarter of the batter into the colander. Place the colander over the boiling water and press the batter with a spatula or the back of a ladle to make it fall into the water. Cook from 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the noodles and place them into a large bowl of ice cold water. Repeat with the remaining batter. Drain and oil lightly.

3. 3

   In a large non-stick skillet, brown half the noodles in half the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm. Repeat with the remaining noodles and butter.

4. 4

   Serve with Chicken in Riesling or any other meat cooked in sauce.
