Spätzle low carb

Traditional spaetzle, a type of German egg noodle, is made with flour, eggs, and sometimes milk. If you’re looking for a low-carb version of spaetzle, you can try making it using alternative ingredients. Here’s a basic recipe for low-carb spaetzle:

Low-Carb Spaetzle Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
• 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Add Water:
   • Gradually add water to the mixture while stirring. The amount of water needed can vary, so add it slowly until you achieve a thick, batter-like consistency.
4. Let the Batter Rest:
   • Allow the batter to rest for about 10-15 minutes. This gives the psyllium husk time to absorb moisture and helps with the texture of the spaetzle.
5. Boil Water:
   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
6. Form Spaetzle:
   • There are various methods to form spaetzle. You can use a spaetzle maker or simply drop small amounts of batter into the boiling water using a spoon. Another option is to press the batter through a colander or use a cutting board and a knife to cut small pieces directly into the boiling water.
7. Cook Spaetzle:
   • Allow the spaetzle to cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Cooking times may vary, so taste-test to ensure they are cooked through.
8. Drain and Serve:
   • Drain the spaetzle and serve them as you would traditional spaetzle. You can sauté them in butter or olive oil and season with herbs or spices.

Tips:

• Psyllium husk powder helps give the spaetzle a more pasta-like texture. If you don’t have psyllium husk powder, you can experiment with other low-carb flours like coconut flour or flaxseed meal.
• Adjust the consistency of the batter with water as needed.

This low-carb spaetzle recipe is just one variation, and you can customize it based on your dietary preferences.
