This German Spaetzle recipe is delicious. I first had spaetzle at a couple German restaurants in Arizona. Our favorites were Haus Murphys and Zur Kate. It was always a treat to get German food, as there aren’t very many restaurants around.
Well, as every other blog entry I’ve written, it is extremely rare to find theses foods out in the county, so I have been working on recreating it at home. After trying different variations of our spaetzle recipe, I will share our favorite. It gets raving reviews from everyone in our family as “the best noodles ever!” and “it’s just so good, I can’t stop eating it!”
We love that it can be quickly made with simple ingredients and the taste is amazing!
If you love spaetzle or have never tried it, you must try making it! It is the perfect side that goes well with basically anything you would have noodles with or even just by itself!
Try it with our Sauerbraten recipe! I look forward to trying to make new German foods at home!

Ingredients
1 cup 1 all purpose flour (125 grams)
1 teaspoon 1 kosher sea salt (5 grams)
1/4 teaspoon 1/4 grated nutmeg (2 grams)
2 large 2 eggs
1/4 cup 1/4 whole milk (60 milliliters)
4 tablespoons 4 butter (60 grams), for sautéing
Directions
- Measure dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
Add eggs and milk.
Mix and beat until the dough is smooth.
It should be like very thick pancake batter.
Let it rest for about 15 minutes, while your water comes to a boil. - Fill a medium pot (3-4 qt pot) halfway with water.
Bring the water to a boil. - Reduce heat to medium-low (a gentle simmer).
Have a colander ready to drain the cooked spaetzle. (*See notes below)
Using a spaetzle press, potato ricer, or a metal colander, press the dough through the holes.
Cook the noodles for 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the top.
Stir to prevent sticking. - When they are all cooked, toss with butter and saute for a few minutes.
You can brown them slightly, if desired. - Serve with your favorite dish!
Notes
- If your pot is on the smaller side, you may have to cook it in 2 batches. Use a slotted spoon to scoop them out into the colander. My pot usually does fine to just make it all at once.
- Some people enjoy adding breadcrumbs on top for a slight crunch and flavor.
