Gluten Free Spätzle

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: German

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup General Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Non-Dairy Milk (you can use dairy milk if your able)
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

  • Put a large pot of water on to boil.
  • Crack 3 Eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat until uniform. Add 1 cup Non-Dairy Milk, ½ tsp Salt, and ¼ tsp Nutmeg to the eggs and mix until combined.
  • Sift 1 ½ cup General Purpose Gluten Free Flour into the wet ingredients, and mix with a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and sticky.
  • Transfer the mixture to a spätzle maker and grate the dough directly into the boiling water. Do not to overfill the pot, depending on the size you may need to do multiple batches.
  • Stir the pot well once all the dough has been run through the maker. Once the spätzle floats they are fully cooked. Strain and serve. 

Notes

  • The water should be at a fast boil before adding the dough.
  • If you plan to save any of these, rinse them with cold water while straining.
  • If you are not allergic to eggs, milk, nor flour you can make these the way grandpa did, using 3 cups of all purpose flour, and 1 cup of whole milk.
  • Spätzle can be served as a side dish, but also goes great in soups as a satisfying and chewy noodle.
