A delightful twist on the classic spaetzle recipe, perfect for a comforting meal.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and water until smooth.
Ensure the liquid mixture is well combined for a consistent dough texture.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps in the dough.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Mix until the dough is slightly sticky but holds together.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt.
Ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the dough.
Using a spaetzle maker, press portions of the dough into the boiling water.
Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
When the spaetzle floats to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain.
Floating indicates the spaetzle is cooked through.
Optionally, sauté the cooked spaetzle in butter until golden and garnish with paprika and parsley before serving.
Sautéing adds a delightful crispness to the spaetzle.
