Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and thicken.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Using a spätzle maker, potato ricer, or colander with large holes, press the batter through into the boiling water. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 6

Allow the spätzle to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the surface of the water. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked spätzle and transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess water.

Step 7

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked spätzle and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and heated through.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with your favorite low-carb German dish, such as bratwurst or schnitzel!
