SPAETZLE WITH BROWN BUTTER

Category: Noodles / Pasta

2-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk

Brown Butter
5 tbsp butter
Additional salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Add chopped parsley to the dough.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and nutmeg. If using Parsley add to dry ingredients. Add the eggs and milk; stir until thoroughly combined. Let dough rest about 15 minutes before cooking.

Heat a large pot of lightly salted water until boiling. Add the spaetzle and cook until done, about 4 minutes. The dumplings will float when done. Drain well.

Brown the butter in a small saucepan or skillet. Place the spaetzle in a serving dish and pour the butter on top. Season with salt and pepper; toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
