Danish Meatballs

Directions

In a medium size bowl mix the ground pork, salt, pepper, onion, eggs, milk and flour or breadcrumbs together with your hands or a fork.

Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan until hot but not burning.

Take a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture and form into an egg shape by cupping it in your hands (it will be like a meatball but shaped a little bit differently).
