THERMOMIX ® RECIPE

1 Spaetzle

Recipe's preparation

Dough

Place flour nutmeg salt in bowl and mix briefly speed 3. Add eggs and blend speed 3 for 45 seconds. Scrape down if necessary. Set to 1-2 and pour milk thru lid till it comes together. Should be a very thick batter consistency. Adjust if necessary with more liquid or flour. Turn to "Dough mode" and set for 10 minutes. Remove from bowl and rest for approximately 30 minutes. Bring large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully hold above water a potato ricer or use a collander or a steamer with large holes, place a portion of the dough in and press thru.(if you are using a collander or steamer use a wooden spoon or a spatula,even a plastic pastry cutter would work, to help this process) . Cut off the dough with a knife or spatula to release if necessary. Give them a stir now and then. Noodles will float to the surface when cooked, should only take a few minutes. When all have risen remove with a sieve or a slotted spoon and plunge into a large bowl of iced water. Repeat with the rest of the dough in batches making sure the water is brought back to boiling before continuing and the collander/steamer is cold otherwise batter wil start to cook and be difficult to push thru. Remember to work fast when adding a portion. Melt butter in a pan over medium  heat until just starting to colour, throw in breadcrumbs and sauté a couple of minutes. Strain spaetzle, add to pan and heat thru.  Excellent accompiament for paprika chicken or dishes with a sauce.
