A delightful twist on traditional Hungarian nokedli, these spaetzle dumplings are easy to prepare and pair wonderfully with hearty dishes.
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the dumplings.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and water until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and uniform for even dough consistency.
Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dumplings tender.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Resting the dough makes it easier to work with and improves texture.
Using a spaetzle maker or a spoon, drop small amounts of dough into the boiling water.
Dip the spoon in hot water to prevent sticking.
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
Floating dumplings indicate they are fully cooked.
Place the cooked dumplings in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Rinsing prevents the dumplings from sticking together.
Serve the dumplings warm as a side dish or incorporate them into your favorite recipe.
Toss the dumplings with melted butter or herbs for added flavor.
