Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Rhenish-Hessian white wine
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the 2 cups of flour, eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and nutmeg to form a smooth, thick batter.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter through the holes directly into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the spätzle floats to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in the white wine and vegetable broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toss the cooked spätzle in the Rhenish-Hessian wine sauce until well coated. Serve hot and enjoy!
