Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients together until evenly combined, but do not overwork the mixture to avoid tough meatballs.
Step 3
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into oval-shaped meatballs about the size of a golf ball.
Step 4
Lightly coat each meatball in flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and sizzle slightly.
Step 6
Place the meatballs in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with potatoes, gravy, or your choice of side dishes.
