Spaetzles

For 4 people

Easy recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 4 eggs
• 12.5cl of milk (or water)
• 400g of floor
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of oil
• Pepper

1. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add flour, salt and, gradually, milk. Add oil and pepper. Mix until smooth.
2. Bring water to the boil in a saucepan. Put the dough in the spaetzele grater to form the spaetzele and cook for a few minutes in the boiling water. The spaetzeles are cooked when they rise to the surface. Don't have a spaetzeles grater? Spread a little dough on a board and cut filaments with a knife, then drop them directly into the water.
3. Using a skimmer, drain the spaëtzele as they rise to the surface and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. You can then pan-fry them in a little butter to serve as a side dish, or add cream and bacon for a complete dish.

On the wine side, spaetzles are a perfect match for our Pinot Gris "Les Natures" 2022.
