Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, mustard, chives, caraway, eggs and 1 teaspoon salt. With a wooden spoon, mix in the all-purpose and rye flours. Cover and let the batter rest for 1 hour.
  2. Set up your grill for even high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  4. Place a perforated pan on top of the pot or use a spaetzle maker and push the batter through the holes, letting the spaetzle drop down into the boiling water. Cook until the spaetzle floats, about 2 minutes, then another 1 to 2 minutes more.
  5. As the spaetzle is cooking, place a sauté pan on the grill. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add a 4-ounce ladle of spaetzle water along with the spaetzle and toss to combine. Season with the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
