Ingredients:

  • 5 -6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp minced onion
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups beef broth

Directions:

  1. Melt 1 Tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet.
  2. Add the onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, until tender.
  3. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the bread crumbs and water and let stand 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the beef, pork, salt, allspice, white pepper, and sugar.
  5. Beat on low speed until smooth.
  6. Turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the meat mixture is light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
  7. (Meat will lighten in color during beating.) Dip 2 teaspoons in ice water.
  8. Using the spoons, shape the meat into tiny meatballs (they maybe slightly oval in shape).
  9. I just wet my hands and formed them by hand, or I use a small ice-cream scoop dipped in ice water.
  10. Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan and place over medium heat.
  11. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, constantly shaking the pan so they brown evenly on all sides.
  12. Drain the meatballs on paper towels, then transfer to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
  13. When all the meatballs are cooked, add the flour to the skillet and stir over medium heat until the flour is lightly browned.
  14. Slowly add the beef broth and cook, stirring, until gravy is thick and brown.
  15. Strain if desired.
  16. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and serve hot.
  17. 6 servings.
  18. Scandinavian Feasts.
