Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/4 lb ground pork
6 tablespoons finely chopped onions (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 beaten eggs
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Mix ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, milk, egg and spices; mix well.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Heat 1 tbs butter in pan.
Place meat balls in pan and cook, turning as necessary to completely cook meat balls.
When meatballs are done, take them out of the pan and place them on a plate.
Mix flour, sugar, salt and pepper together.
To remaining drippings in pan, add flour mixture, stir with whisk.
Add water to make a gravy.
Slowly add 1 cup cream, stirring constantly.
Stir until thick.
Do not boil.
Add meatballs to gravy and keep heat low.
Allow flavors to blend.
I would personally serve them with rice as a main course, but I don’t think that would be traditional.
I think my mom used them as appetizers- to go with a smorgasbord.
