Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt together to make a thick, smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Press the batter through a spätzle press or colander with large holes into the water, cooking in batches for 2-3 minutes until they float, then drain.

  3. 3

    Fry the bacon lardons and chopped onion in a large frying pan for 6-8 minutes until golden and the bacon is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add the frozen peas and spätzle to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes more until the peas are hot through.

  5. 5

    Stir in the soured cream and warm through gently without boiling, then scatter over the snipped chives and serve.
