Instructions:

1. Mix Meat and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork and beef along with the nutmeg and ground cloves, ensuring an even distribution of flavors throughout the meat mixture.

2. Incorporate Egg: Crack the egg into the meat mixture, stirring thoroughly to incorporate it evenly. This helps bind the ingredients together and adds richness to the meatballs.

3. Add Flour Mixture: Gradually add the flour to the meat mixture, alternating with the soda water to create a smooth and consistent texture. Be sure to mix well after each addition to avoid any lumps.

4. Grate Onion: Grate the onion directly into the meat mixture, adding a burst of flavor and moisture. Ensure the onion is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. Beat Thoroughly: Using a fork or a whisk, beat the meat mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture in your meatballs.

6. Chill in Fridge: Cover the meat mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and makes the mixture easier to handle when shaping into meatballs.

7. Shape Meatballs: Once chilled, shape the meat mixture into balls of your desired size. For Mock Turtle Soup, smaller balls are recommended, while larger ones are suitable for main courses or appetizers.

8. Cooking Options:

   • For Mock Turtle Soup: Boil the meatballs for a few minutes until they are cooked through. This infuses them with flavor and makes them tender and delicious.
   • For Appetizers: Fry the smaller meatballs until golden brown and crispy. Serve with your favorite dip for a delightful appetizer that will impress your guests.

9. Check Consistency: Before cooking all the meatballs, it’s a good idea to test one to ensure the consistency and seasoning are to your liking. Adjust as necessary before proceeding with the remaining batch.

10. Final Touch: Remember, the key to perfect Danish meatballs is in the beating! Be sure to beat the meat mixture thoroughly at each stage to achieve the desired texture and flavor.
