Wine Tip

Silvaner
A dry, crisp, medium-bodied Silvaner is an excellent choice for this dish, as it harmonizes well with seafood.

Step 1

In a stand mixer, beat together the flour, eggs, butter, salt, and milk for approx. 3 – 5 min. until a smooth, even batter forms. Cover bowl and transfer to fridge for approx. 1 hr.
