# What You'll Need:
→ Spätzle Dough
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup milk
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
→ For Air Frying
06 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
07 - 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt for sprinkling
08 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Emmental cheese (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and nutmeg if using.
02 - Incorporate eggs and milk, stirring vigorously until a thick, sticky batter forms. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
03 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
04 - Press the batter through a Spätzle maker or colander into the boiling water. Cook in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles float to the surface.
05 - Remove the Spätzle with a slotted spoon and drain thoroughly.
06 - Toss the cooked noodles with vegetable oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
07 - Set the air fryer to 400°F and preheat for 3 minutes.
08 - Spread the noodles in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
09 - Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the noodles turn golden and crisp.
10 - Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and grated cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
