Spaetzle

My Swiss-German grandmother made these and I love them as a side, or just plain with a little butter and salt. Posting this to go with my Chicken Paprikash recipe, that is not my grandmother's but I'm pretty sure she would have liked it!

Spaetzle

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3/4 cup water (or milk)
• 2 cups flour
• dash of nutmeg

Instructions:

• Combine all ingredients, add the flour last, a little at a time.
• Let rest for about 10 minutes
• Boil a large pot of water
• Drop small amounts of dough into the boiling water. I don't have the technique of my grandmother using a cutting board and knife, so I use the back of a spoon, or you can use a spaetzle maker or cheese grater to make a consistent size.
• When the noodle are done, they will float to the top. Remove with slotted spoon.
• Rinse in a colander in cold water.

Serve with Chicken Paprikash, or add to soup or stews, or fry in a pan with butter.
