Embark on a culinary journey to savor the delectable Herbed Spätzle in Brown Butter, a dish that tantalizes taste buds with its symphony of flavors. Originating from the heart of Swabia, Germany, Spätzle, meaning "little sparrow" in German, is a traditional noodle that forms the heart of this dish. These tiny, irregularly shaped dumplings are lovingly crafted from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk, then gently dropped into boiling water, creating a delightful texture that is both tender and springy. Bathed in a rich, nutty brown butter sauce infused with aromatic herbs like sage and parsley, this dish is elevated to a new level of culinary artistry. As you twirl each forkful of Spätzle, the delicate flavors of the herbs dance on your palate, perfectly complementing the crispy, buttery notes of the sauce. Accompanying this main course are two complementary recipes: a refreshing Herb Salad and a luscious Vanilla Sauce. The Herb Salad offers a vibrant burst of flavors and colors, featuring a medley of fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and dill, tossed in a tangy vinaigrette dressing. This salad serves as a light and flavorful counterpoint to the richness of the Spätzle. For a sweet ending, the Vanilla Sauce delivers a symphony of creamy, velvety textures, delicately perfumed with the essence of vanilla. Drizzle this luscious sauce over your Spätzle or savor it alongside the Herb Salad, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and savory notes. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure like no other as you explore the depths of flavors in Herbed Spätzle in Brown Butter, accompanied by the Herb Salad and Vanilla Sauce.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, a pinch of pepper and the nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk the sour cream, seltzer, eggs, herbs and mustard in another bowl, then stir into the flour mixture.
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Working over the simmering water, place about 1 cup dough in a colander and push the dough through with a rubber spatula. Cook the spaetzle for 1 minute after they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water. Repeat with the remaining dough, letting the water return to a bare simmer between batches. Drain the spaetzle, spread out on a baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Increase the heat to high and add half of the spaetzle in an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Shake the pan and loosen the spaetzle with a spatula; continue cooking until heated through, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and spaetzle.
HERBED SPAETZLE
Steps:
- In a large bowl combine 3/4 cup water, the eggs, salt and flour. Whisk well, until the dough is soft and sticky.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When the butter begins to foam, add the garlic, chives, parsley and marjoram. Cook until the butter begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the white wine and allow to reduce for a minute. Keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Transfer the spaetzle batter to a colander with small holes. Set the colander above the boiling water and, using a spatula or bench scraper, press the batter through the holes and directly into the water. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spaetzle float to the surface. Drain and immediately add the spaetzle to the pan with the butter sauce. Over high heat, toss the spaetzle and the sauce together for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the spaetzle sizzles. Sprinkle with some grated Parmesan and serve.
HERBED SPAETZLE
Spaetzle are little noodles native to Germany (as well as Alto Adige), where I lived for a while as a young cook. I love their irregular shape and soothing flavor.

Steps:
- Combine the milk and eggs in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until the egg yolks break up. Add the flour and 1 teaspoon salt and mix on low speed until a thick, pancake-like batter forms. Add the chives, parsley, rosemary and thyme, and mix until well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the batter to a smaller bowl (to fit more easily in the fridge), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the batter rest.
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and have nearby a rimmed baking sheet greased with olive oil. Working over the boiling water and using a rubber spatula, press the batter in batches through the holes of a perforated broiling pan insert, a colander or the large holes of a box grater. The dough will form small dumplings as it drops into the water. Allow the spaetzle to rise to the surface and float for about 30 seconds before transferring it to the baking sheet and continue cooking the rest of the batter. (If you are not using the cooked spaetzle right away, toss it with a little olive oil and refrigerate, covered in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.)
- Reheat the spaetzle by following the directions in the recipe calling for it. Or, for a delicious side dish, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter. When the butter is melted, add the spaetzle and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if using, and serve.

Steps:
- Bring milk and 4 thyme sprigs to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat. Discard thyme. Transfer milk to a blender; add parsley, thyme leaves, and eggs. Blend until combined.
- Whisk flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in milk mixture until smooth.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Working with about 1/4 cup batter at a time, press batter through 1/4-inch holes of a colander or spaetzle maker into boiling water. Cook until spaetzle float to top, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath. Drain.
- Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the spaetzle; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with remaining thyme.
Tips:
- Use a large bowl for mixing the spaetzle dough. This will give you plenty of room to work and prevent the dough from sticking to the sides of the bowl.
- Make sure the water is boiling before you add the dough. This will help to prevent the spaetzle from sticking together.
- Do not overcook the spaetzle. It should be cooked through but still have a slightly chewy texture.
- Brown the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. This will give the butter a nutty flavor and help to prevent the spaetzle from sticking to the pan.
- Add the spaetzle to the browned butter and cook until it is heated through. Stir frequently to prevent the spaetzle from burning.
- Season the spaetzle with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
