Instruction manual
1
Peel the onions and chop them into small cubes. Heat the pan and melt 50 g butter in it. Then sprinkle the chopped onion and fry it until transparent.
2
Pour the milk into a small bowl and pour the breadcrumbs into it so that they are well saturated. Or put a piece of bread and leave it in milk for 2-3 minutes.
3
Transfer minced meat to the bowl, add the onion, softened crackers or bread, which you need to break into small pieces. As well as a chicken egg, ground pepper and salt to taste. All together mix well until smooth.
4
Now, from the resulting meat mass, form meatballs in the form of balls with a diameter of about 4-5 cm. After this, melt the remaining butter in a pan and fry the meatballs on it. They need to be turned several times to form a delicious golden crust on all sides.
5
When the meatballs are ready, transfer them to a separate dish or in a saucepan. Now we will prepare the sauce for them. Pour the broth, cream and flour into the same pan without washing it. Bring the mass to a thickening, stirring all the time so that not a single flour lump remains. At the end, put ground pepper and salt.
6
Before serving, put the meatballs in portions, pouring them with creamy sauce. As a side dish, mashed potatoes, rice or pasta are the best choice for such a dish.
