Prepare the Spätzle dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, slightly elastic dough forms. It should be thick but pourable. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Use a Spätzle maker, a colander with large holes, or a cutting board to press or scrape small pieces of dough into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

While the Spätzle cooks, cook the bacon or speck in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon fat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the drained sauerkraut and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and some of the liquid evaporates.

Add the cooked Spätzle and the reserved crispy bacon to the skillet with the sauerkraut and onions. Add the butter and toss everything together to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring, until the Spätzle is heated through and lightly browned in places.

Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, optionally with a side of sour cream or a dollop of crème fraîche.
💡 Proffstips
- ✓The Spätzle dough consistency is key; it should be thick enough to hold its shape but loose enough to pass through a Spätzle maker.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking Spätzle; cook in batches if necessary.
- ✓Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the sauerkraut before adding it to the pan.
- ✓For a richer flavor, use smoked bacon or speck.
