Chicken Paprikash (Paprikas Csirke) with Added HOT Spaetzle Action
Submitted by squirrellypoo Uploaded by Schpyder I'd love to say that this is an old family recipe, since I come from sturdy Germano-Hungarian stock, but the Paprikash my mother used to make was never very good.

Method
1
Combine all-purpose flour, salt, ground pepper, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
2
Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl until well blended.
3
Pour the egg-milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter but pourable.
2 minutes
4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
8 minutes
5
Working in batches, hold the batter-filled spaetzle maker or slotted spoon over the boiling water and press the batter through the holes directly into the water. Cook the spaetzle until they float to the surface.
3 minutes
6
Continue cooking the spaetzle for an additional 2-3 minutes after they float to ensure they are tender throughout.
7
Transfer the cooked spaetzle to a colander using a slotted spoon and allow them to drain completely.
8
Toss the drained spaetzle gently with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking, and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
