Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 250 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 125 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, and milk.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Sprinkle in the flour and mix thoroughly to ensure the mixture holds together. If it feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This step helps the flavors develop and the mixture firm up.
After chilling, use a large spoon or your hands to shape the mixture into oval patties, about 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of traditional Danish accompaniments such as boiled potatoes, gravy, and pickled red cabbage.
