German Dumplings

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. salt
1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so water just simmers.
Meanwhile, mix together flour, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl.
Whisk eggs together in a small bowl.
Add eggs alternately with milk to dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.
Working in batches, press dough through a large-holed colander or metal grater, into simmering water.
Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain well.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add spaetzle and cook, stirring gently, until heated through.
Serve sprinkled with parsley.
