These bite-size dumplings are a time-honored German dish. We've updated the traditional batter with cornmeal, giving the spaetzle a great polenta-like texture.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking polenta or finely ground yellow cornmeal
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup fromage blanc or pureed ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Whisk together flour, polenta, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together eggs, milk, and fromage blanc with a mixer on medium speed. Reduce speed to low; whisk in flour mixture. Raise speed to medium-high; whisk until thick and gooey, about 2 minutes.
  • Working in batches and using a rubber spatula, gradually press batter through a large-holed colander into boiling water. Boil until spaetzle float to top, about 1 minute; scoop out using a fine sieve. Rinse under cold water; drain.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add spaetzle; season with salt and pepper. Brown, tossing often, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; toss in dill.

These spaetzle were a bit too soft for my taste. I think I would cook them for a bit longer next time.

The spaetzle were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would use a smaller grater next time.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would use a store-bought spaetzle mix next time.

The spaetzle were a bit bland. I think I would add some herbs or spices to the batter next time.

These spaetzle were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or water to the batter next time.

These cornmeal spaetzle were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The flavor was perfect, and they paired well with the roasted chicken and vegetables I served them with.
