Instructions
Put the Spätzle flour in a mixing bowl. Mix in the eggs, salt and nutmeg with the dough hooks of a hand mixer and knead until the dough forms bubbles and flows slowly and thickly off the hooks without tearing. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and grate the dough into it in batches with the Spätzle grater.
Bring back to the boil once, lift out with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl of cold water. Then drain in a sieve.
