Recipe - Spaetzle With Sage Butter

2 Eggs
One half cup Milk
1 cup Allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Ground pepper
One fourth teaspoon Ground nutmeg
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh sage

Combine the eggs and milk. Combine the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Using a wooden spoon add the liquid to the flour and mix to combine well.
Mix the dough well and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.

Using a spaetzle maker (a utensil that resembles a food mill) or passing
the dough through a colander, position the utensil over the boiling water.
Pass the spaetzle dough into the water and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes
or until the spaetzle floats to the surface. Use a spider strainer to scoop
the spaetzle out of the water and place in a bowl. Melt the butter in a
sauce pan, until it begins to turn brown. Add the chopped sage and pour the
butter over the spaetzle and serve.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
