Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 20 min

What You'll Need:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 eggs, beaten

1 3/4 cups water

4 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

What To Do:

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper; mix well. Add the eggs and water; mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.  

Bring a large pot of water to a hard, rolling boil over high heat; add remaining salt. In batches, drizzle the batter from a wide slotted spoon into the boiling water. When the spaetzle (noodles) float to the top of the water, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Place in a bowl, add butter and parsley, and stir gently just until mixed.
