Ingredients

  • 500 g Ground pork
  • 250 g Ground beef
  • 1 medium Onion, finely grated
  • 1 Egg
  • 50 g All-purpose flour
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 30 g Butter
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, grated onion, and egg.

Step 2

Add the flour, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 3

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and help bind the meatballs.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the meat mixture and form them into oval-shaped meatballs about the size of a golf ball.

Step 6

Place the meatballs into the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the cooked frikadeller from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the process until all the meatballs are cooked.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as boiled potatoes, gravy, or a tangy cucumber salad.
