Preparation

Step 1

Stir together the flour and salt. Combine eggs and milk; stir into the flour mixture. Pour the batter into
the Spätzle Hex and place it on the lip of a large saucepan or pot (with a diameter of at least 20 cm or
8 in) of boiling, salted water. Turn the crank with one hand, keeping the Spätzle Hex gently in place
with the other.
Take care to let the extruded pieces of dough (the Spätzle) fall into the slightly bubbling water and let
them cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Generally, Spätzle swimming on the surface are sufficiently
cooked and may be gathered with a large slotted spoon, drained and placed into a serving dish. Stir in
some melted butter or margarine to keep the Spätzle from sticking together and garnish with some
bread crumbs.
