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:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- 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.
- 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.
- Boil Water:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
