A delightful homemade noodle recipe with a touch of creativity, perfect for any occasion.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water enhances the flavor of the spaetzle.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt until smooth.
Ensure the batter is smooth but not too runny for the best texture.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in tender noodles.
Using a spaetzle maker or colander, drop the batter into the boiling water.
Work quickly to ensure even cooking of the noodles.
Cook the spaetzle until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Floating noodles indicate they are cooked through.
For variations, blend spinach or beetroot into the batter before cooking.
These additions not only add color but also enhance the nutritional value.
Serve the spaetzle warm with your favorite sauce or topping.
A sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated cheese makes a delightful garnish.
