Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 Eggs
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons for frying Butter
• 2 tablespoons for frying Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, egg, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the pork mixture while mixing. This helps bind the mixture together.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix. The mixture should become smooth and slightly sticky but still hold its shape.

Step 4

Season the mixture with ground pepper and mix again to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This helps the flavors come together and makes shaping the frickadeller easier.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil, allowing them to melt and heat up evenly.

Step 7

Using a spoon, scoop a portion of the mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and shape it into a slightly flattened oval or round meatball with wet hands or two spoons.

Step 8

Place the shaped frickadeller into the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more butter and oil to the pan if necessary.

Step 10

Once cooked, transfer the frickadeller to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with boiled potatoes, gravy, pickled cucumbers, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
