Krok za krokem

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper; whisk them together.

   Přibližně 2 min

2. 2

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and water until well combined.

   Přibližně 1 min

3. 3

   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a thick, smooth batter forms.

   Přibližně 3 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: The batter should be thick and somewhat sticky, like a very thick pancake batter.

4. 4

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

   Přibližně 5 min

5. 5

   Place a spätzle maker or colander with large holes over the boiling water. Spoon a portion of the batter into the spätzle maker.

   Přibližně 1 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: If using a colander, use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to push the batter through the holes into the water.

6. 6

   Cook the spätzle in batches until they float to the surface, which usually takes 1-2 minutes.

   Přibližně 6 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in several batches if necessary.

7. 7

   Remove the cooked spätzle with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then drain well.

   Přibližně 2 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: This step helps keep the spätzle from becoming mushy and maintains their chewiness.

8. 8

   In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

   Přibližně 1 min

9. 9

   Add the drained spätzle to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.

   Přibližně 5 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: This step adds a lovely nutty flavor and slight crispness to the spätzle.

    Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
