Ingredients
4 whole Eggs1⁄3 cup Milk
2 teaspoons Salt (plus 1 tablespoon)
2 cups Flour
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1⁄4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1⁄4 cup Parsley (chopped)
1⁄4 cup Parmesan
dash Ground Black Pepper
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons salt. Add in the flour and stir until well combined. If it is too runny, then add a little more flour. If it is too thick, then add a little more milk.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil over high heat then add 1 tablespoon salt. Place your metal colander over the top, then pour half of the batter into it. Use a stiff spatula to push the dough through. Repeat with second half of batter, working quickly, until all the batter is cooking in the pot.
- Take the colander off and give the dumplings a good stir in the pot. Let them cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until floating on the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl. Toss with butter, parmesan, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle in parsley and serve warm.
