Ingredients
Instructions
- Place flour, egg, salt, cayenne, and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk together until the batter drips slowly off the whisk. If the batter seems too thin, add a bit more flour; if too thick, add a bit more milk. If a dollop of the batter does not drip through the grating holes, it's the right consistency.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Put the spaetzle maker over the pot. Fill the hopper with batter and run the hopper back and forth to make the spaetzle.
- When dumplings rise to the surface of the water, they are done. This will take just a few minutes. Remove the dumplings with a spider stainer or a slotted spoon, and repeat in batches with the remaining batter.
