Ingredients:
- 4 ground allspice

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
Instructions:
-
Mix all together: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground allspice, softened butter, eggs, and half-and-half cream. Mix until well combined.
-
Roll into walnut size balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small walnut-sized balls. Ensure they are evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
-
Drop into simmering chicken stock: In a large pot, bring chicken stock to a light boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Carefully drop the butterballs into the simmering stock, ensuring they are fully submerged.
-
Test one: Always try one butterball first to check for consistency. If it breaks apart, it may need additional binding.
-
Adjust if needed: If the butterballs break apart during cooking, add one more egg to the mixture and remix until well combined. This will help bind the ingredients together for a smoother texture.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the butterballs are cooked through and have a golden brown color, remove them from the chicken stock and drain any excess liquid. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of these German Butterballs!
-
Variations: Keep in mind that the texture and consistency of the butterballs may vary depending on the type of bread used and its dryness. Experiment with different types of bread to find your perfect combination!
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives over the butterballs before serving.
