By latin1

Ingredients

• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 large egg
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 tsp freshly garted nutmeg
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp minced parsley

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the whole egg and milk. In a large bowl, mix the flour with 1 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and the nutmeg. add the egg mixture and stir just until blended; do not overmix. cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 and up to 4 hours.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a rubber spatula and working over the pot, push the batter into the boiling water through a colander with large holes, stopping once or twice to stir the water. Cook until the spaetzle are tender, about 4 minutes; drain.
In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the spaetzle and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until beginning to brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. add the butter and cook,stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
