Steps:
- Combine beef, pork and onion. Add breadcrumbs, flour, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, garlic, and sage leaves (it works best if you mix it with your hands).
- Slowly add half & half for consistency (you want them to be slightly sticky, you shouldn't be able to form them into a perfect ball). Coat large skillet well with butter. Drop clumps of mixture (a heaping tablespoon-size) onto the skillet.
- Fry on medium to medium low heat until brown (press the meat down a lightly with a fork so it flattens out a little.. it should look like a fat hamburger.. see picture below), then flip (approx 3-5 minutes per side). Add more butter with each batch.
- Serve with gravy (see below). **Don't wash the skillet-- you will want the brown bits and drippings for the gravy**
- Add the flour to the drippings to form a roux (add butter if needed). Slowly add cream (or milk) until mixture reaches gravy consistency. Add beef bouillon, salt & pepper to taste.

FRIKADELLER (DANISH MEATBALLS)
This recipe comes straight from my mother-in-law in Denmark. It's a little labor-intensive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be addicted! Serve warm with a brown sauce, small red boiled potatoes, and sweet and sour cabbage. Better still, double the batch and have enough the next day to slice and place on toast with mayonnaise (open-faced, of course, the Scandinavian way)!

Steps:
- Mix the veal and pork together in a bowl, and stir in the milk, onion, and egg. Mix the bread crumbs into the meat. Sprinkle in the flour, and knead well to mix. Stir in the seltzer water, season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix well. The mixture should be very moist, but not dripping.
- Chill the meat mixture for 15 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator, to make the meatballs easier to form.
- Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
- To form meatballs, scoop up about 2 1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture with a large spoon, and form the mixture into a slightly flattened, oval meatball about the size of a small egg. Place the meatballs into the heated skillet, and fry for about 15 minutes per side, until the meatballs are well-browned and no longer pink in the center.

DANISH MEATBALLS (FRIKADELLER)
The Danes and the Swedes were in numerous wars over hundreds of years; one reason could have been 'the meatballs'. Most people will think of Sweden and perhaps IKEA when they think of meatballs; however it is also a traditional dish in Denmark and it is a dish that varies from family to family, often being passed down through generations. My recipe goes back at least 100 years, perhaps more; but I have traced it back to my great-grandmother and can remember making the meatballs with my grandmother as a little girl. The difference between the Danish and Swedish meatballs is often that ground pork is added to Danish meatballs making them fluffier and - being Danish - I think more tasty ;)

Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients using hands in a big bowl. To get the right consistency it is important that all ingredients get well mixed and gets softened a bit. I would say that you should knead for around 5 minutes.
- Form into meatballs according to the size you prefer. In Denmark meatballs used for dinner is the size of the palm of your hand, and lunch meat balls are about half of that. (Quantity for this recipe is based on dinner meatballs).
- Heat a non-stick pan to medium-hot and place the meatballs in the pan. If you feel they stick too much to the pan, you can add a bit of butter to the pan (not oil). Turn the meatballs with a fork once they have started to brown. Keep turning them every 4 min or so being careful that they do not brown too much. Cook for approx 15-20 min until cooked through.
- Serve with a potato salad, mashed potatoes or cooked potatoes with a white milk based gravy.

GERMAN HAMBURGERS (FRIKADELLEN)
The original hamburger, these are served like a flattened meatball with some steamed string beans and salad. I also like to use this recipe to make Swedish meatballs (but omit the paprika). My Aunt in Hamburg, Germany taught me this recipe and I've been making them ever since. Serve with steamed string beans and tossed salad. Or serve on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumbers, finely sliced deep fried onions and curry ketchup.

Tips:
- Choose the right meat: The best Frikadeller is made with a combination of pork and beef. Use ground pork that is not too lean, and ground beef that is 80% lean.
- Soak the bread in milk: This helps to keep the Frikadeller moist and tender. Use a sturdy bread like a French baguette or a sourdough.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and dill add a lot of flavor to Frikadeller. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the Frikadeller tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the Frikadeller over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Serve the Frikadeller with your favorite sides: Frikadeller can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Frikadeller is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a popular dish in many countries, and there are many different variations on the recipe. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Frikadeller that your family and friends will love.
