STEPS
1. Sift the flour, pour 130ml of milk into a saucepan and add 100g of butter.

3. Return to the heat and continue cooking for about 4 minutes or until the mixture is thick and combined.
4. Allow to cool and then add one egg at a time to the mixture, stirring till each egg is mixed in before adding the next.
5. Add 70g of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir vigorously for another 3/4 minutes and transfer to a piping bag with a smooth mouth.
6. Boil plenty of salted water in a pot and start to squeeze pipping bag contents into the pot, cutting the dough every 2 cm, for this part use a knife taking care to wet it often to assist with cutting the dough.
7. Boil the gnocchi letting them come to the surface and draining after 1 minute. Place them on a dish towel and leave to cool down.
