Ingredients
- 2 cups gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk together the gfJules gluten-free flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Crack the eggs into another bowl and stir together with the milk to combine the yolks and whites. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the flour bowl while stirring slowly until incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Fill a large pot of water halfway and add a dash of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and set a large colander on top of the pot.
- Spoon spaetzle batter into the colander and press through the holes with a rubber spatula; the formed noodles will fall into the hot water. Prepare in batches so as not to overcrowd the noodles—stir gently to separate them.
- Cook for approximately 3 minutes. Some recipes indicate that the noodles float when they are ready, but with gluten-free noodles, many will float immediately, so just leave them in the water for 3 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon, skimmer or spider whisk.
- Put cooked noodles into another colander and briefly run cold water over them. Set aside in a bowl while cooking the remaining batter.
- Just before serving, heat a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and stir the noodles to coat and heat. Serve warm topped with any sauce, vegetables or meat, or serve plain as a side dish.
- Serves 10 when topped with roasted vegetables or meat.
