Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs with water and cream. Allow the mixture to stand for a while to absorb the liquids.
- Finely chop the onion and sauté it in oil until translucent. This can be done either in a frying pan or in a microwave oven.
- Once the onion is cooked, add it to the breadcrumb mixture along with the egg, minced beef, salt, allspice, and white pepper.
- Mix the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Wet your hands slightly with water and shape the meat mixture into balls of your desired size.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the meatballs, with smaller ones taking around 3-5 minutes and larger ones requiring 5-8 minutes.
- While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the gravy by lightly browning the flour in fat.
- Gradually add the liquid of your choice to the flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Once the gravy has thickened, add the cream and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
- Serve the meatballs hot, accompanied by the gravy. They pair wonderfully with potatoes and grated carrots. For an authentic Scandinavian touch, garnish with lingonberry jam and gherkins on the side.
