Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs)

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/2-1 cup nonfat milk (skim)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon clove
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground lean pork
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. 1

   Combine bread crumbs and milk; let stand 10 minutes. Regarding the milk, 1 cup turned out meatballs that were very loose, but I'm not sure how much would be right. (Please give feedback so that we can finetune this recipe.).

2. 2

   Add eggs, seasonings and flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add beef and pork; mix just until combined.

3. 3

   Make meatballs about 2 inches wide, using about 3 T. of meat mixture for each one. (A small ice cream scoop works great.).

4. 4

   Melt butter over medium heat. Place meatballs in it. Flatten slightly. Cook 8-10 minutes until they're browned on both sides and no longer pink inside. You'll probably have to make in batches. Placed cooked ones on a platter and keep them warm while preparing others.
