    | 1. Melt butter in a skillet. | 2. Saute onions in the butter until golden. | 3. Soak the bread crumbs in the milk. | 4. To the bread mixture, add the meats, egg, onion, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix until a smooth texture is achieved. | 5. Chill mix for an hour or so, to firm it up. | 6. Form mix into meatballs, using 1-2 tablespoons of meat per ball. (these should be smaller than a golf ball). If you are making these on a warm day, you might want to chill the formed balls again, so that you don't get flat sides when you fry them. | 7. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. | 8. Melt a small amount of butter (traditional) or oil in the pan. | 9. Add enough meatballs to fill the pan very loosely. | 10. Shake the pan as you fry the balls, to keep the round shape as they cook. Continue to cook until they are evenly brown on all sides. | 11. Remove each batch to a warm platter in the oven, as you fry the rest. | 12. If you wish to make the gravy, deglaze the pan with a little water after each batch, and reserve the resulting drippings in a bowl. | 13. For the gravy:. | 14. When all of the meatballs have been fried, mix the flour and cream (or milk), and add to the reserved pan drippings in the skillet. | 15. Simmer for 10 minutes. | 16. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of cream (or milk) to thin, then taste and season with salt and/or pepper as needed. | 17. Pour gravy over warm meatballs and serve with boiled potatoes and lingonberry sauce. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
