makes 24

1 kg ground pork

1 large onion, grated

2 eggs

1 TBSP salt

1 tsp pepper

110gr flour

300 ml milk

3-5 TBLSP butter, for frying

Mix meat, onion, eggs, salt and pepper and stir thoroughly.  Add flour and milk a little at a time.  Mixture should be light and airy - so beat it to this consistency (by hand, not with a mixer)  Let rest for 20 minutes in the fridge.

Brown the butter in a skillet.  Shape the frikadeller using a tablespoon against the inside of the bowl (tip the bowl slightly toward you) and form into oblong balls approx 7X5 cm.  Brown on both sides over high heat (2-3 minutes in total) and then reduce heat and cook about 10 minutes, turning them once in a while.

For the chatbox, you are able to load your own if you are able to find the url for it and load it into the email/url space above the message typing box.

For Front Page postings/comments, however, only I can add a user’s avatar, unfortunately, so if you tell me what avatar you want, ie the url for it, or a picture you have posted on the Front Page, or the one you use in the chatbox, then I will add it for you, once I’ve noticed the request. Obviously, if I haven’t done it a few days after you’ve asked, chase me up.
