Ingredients

2 cups   sifted flour
3/4 tsp   salt
1/4 tsp   nutmeg

Procedure

  1. Mix together everything but the milk.

  2. Add just enough milk to make a stiff batter.

  3. Beat well and let the mixture rest.

  4. Force the mixture through a spaetzle mill into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until tender (about 6 minutes for al dente, 15 for zaftig).
