Spatzle (aka Spaetzle) Recipe

Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour

plus more as needed

1 large egg

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon creme fraiche

sour cream

or plain yogurt

3 tablespoons milk

or as needed

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place flour egg salt cayenne cream fraiche and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk together until batter drips slowly off the whisk. If batter seems too thin add a bit more flour; if too thick add a bit more milk. You can test the thickness using the smooth side of a cheese grater with fairly large holes. If a dollop of the batter does not drip through the grating holes it's the right consistency.

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to push a spoonful of batter through the holes of the smooth side of the grater into the simmering water.

Step 3

When dumplings rise to the surface of the water they are done. This will take just a few minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and repeat in batches with remaining batter.
