Spaetzle

Ingredients

1.	Mix the flour and the spices together then add in the beaten eggs
2.	Gradually add the milk until it is all fully incorporated and you have a thick and smooth batter. Leave to rest for 10 minutes
3.	Meanwhile, half fill a large pan with salted water and bring to the boil. Alternatively, you could add a stock cube to the water instead of salt.
4.	Once the water is boiling, pour some of the batter through a large-holed colander, allowing droplets of the batter to land in the boiling water. Do this in batches so as not to overcrowd the water.
5.	After about 30 seconds to a minute, the little dumplings should float to the surface. When this happens, scoop them out with a slotted spoon or spider sieve
6.	Once the water is boiling again, process the next batch
7.	Once all the dumplings are boiled, melt the butter in a large frying pan or skillet and add the dumplings, stirring until they just start to turn golden
8.	Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve
