Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs - Pronounced "Frigga Della")

1/2 lb Ground Veal (we use beef sometimes)
1/2 lb Ground Pork
2 Tbs Flour (or 1 Cup bread crumbs)
2 Cups Milk
1 Egg
1 Large Onion, minced
Salt & Pepper,  to taste

In a large bowl, combine ground veal (or beef) with ground pork.  Mix well.  Add flour or bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, salt, and pepper.  Mix thoroughly.  Forming balls with a large tablespoon, drop meatballs into a frying pan and fry over low heat.  Makes 4 servings.

This recipe is a Danish tradition for us at Christmas. It's a little like a meatball...but so much better.  I generally double this recipe (at least). It's great with gravy and/or Red Cabbage Slaw on top.

We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve each year with a Danish Feast.  I'll post some of the other recipes here so I don't lose them.  :D

I don't have Tina's (my mother in laws) actual recipe in hand, but I found this one in a cookbook called Secret Recipes! Worldwide Ward Cookbook by Deanna Buxton (page 127).  I made it in 2023 and everyone loved it.  No complaints...so it's a keeper.
