Posted by bettyboop50 at recipegoldmine.com May 28, 2001

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash white pepper
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
4 quarts chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Grated parmesan cheese, optional

In a bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add eggs and milk; stir to mix well (batter will be thick).

In a Dutch oven or large kettle, bring chicken broth or water to a boil. Drop batter by 1/2 teaspoonfuls into boiling liquid. Boil until spaetzle rise to the surface; remove to ice water. Drain well.

In a skillet, heat spaetzle in butter until lightly browned.

Serve with schnitzel and gravy or with parmesan cheese.
