Instructions

  1. Combine flour, eggs, milk, and sparkling mineral water in a mixer. Mix until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
  2. Press the batter through a dumpling sieve into a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for 1-2 minutes until spaetzle floats to the surface. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
