Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, egg, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the pork mixture while mixing. This helps bind the mixture together.
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix. The mixture should become smooth and slightly sticky but still hold its shape.
Season the mixture with ground pepper and mix again to distribute evenly.
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.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil, allowing them to melt and heat up evenly.
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.
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.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more butter and oil to the pan if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the frickadeller to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with boiled potatoes, gravy, pickled cucumbers, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
