2. Incorporate Butter:
   Beat the mixture vigorously, then integrate the butter into the mixture until evenly distributed.

3. Add Eggs:
   Crack the eggs into the mixture, adding them one at a time, and continue mixing until well incorporated.

4. Gradually Add Liquid:
   Slowly pour the liquid into the mixture while stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

5. Smooth Out Mixture (if Curdled):
   If the mixture appears curdled, place the bowl in hot water and whisk until smooth again. This step ensures a uniform texture.

6. Check Seasoning:
   Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Ensure it’s seasoned to perfection before proceeding.

7. Shape into Balls:
   Using two spoons dipped in hot water, shape the fish mixture into round balls. Keep the size uniform for consistent cooking.

8. Boil Salted Water:
   Bring about 2 pints of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot. The salt enhances the flavor of the fish balls.

9. Test Consistency:
   Cook one fish ball in the boiling water to test its consistency. Adjust the mixture by adding more egg if too soft or more cream if too stiff.

10. Cook Fish Balls:
    Once satisfied with the consistency, gently lower all the fish balls into the boiling water. They will cook quickly and float to the surface when done, usually in about a minute.

11. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the Danish Fish Balls hot as an appetizer with your favorite dip, or incorporate them into Danish Mock Turtle Soup. Alternatively, shape the mixture into a ring and serve as a main course with a delectable sauce.

Tips:

• Ensure the fish mixture is well seasoned to enhance the flavor of the final dish.
• Consistency is key when shaping the fish balls; adjust the mixture as needed to achieve the desired texture.
• For added versatility, experiment with different types of liquid, such as cream, milk, or broth, to customize the flavor profile.
• Serve the fish balls fresh and hot for the best taste and texture.
• Get creative with serving options, from appetizers to main courses, to suit any dining occasion.
