Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground steak
  • 1/4 lb. fresh pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 medium sized onion, minced
  • 11/2 c. milk, scalded
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp. allspice
  • 1/8 tsp. ginger

Method

  • Grind meat very fine, beat eggs slightly and add with milk and cornstarch to meat mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Add rest of ingredients; beat thoroughly until very light, then form into small balls. Brown in butter, simmer slowly until done, adding a little water, if necessary.
  • When done, remove meat balls, add more butter to drippings, add flour and brown, then add enough water to make a medium thick gravy.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add meat balls.
  • These meat balls may be prepared several hours before serving, as they are just as delicious when reheated.
