Introduction

The danish recipe "frikadeller" is a cross between a hamburger and a meatball.

This one comes from food-writer Camilla Plum, from her book "Umoderne mad" (old-fashioned food)

Soak bread in milk for 10 mins.

Put meat and salt in a bowl (advisable to use you KA here) and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients, long enough for the mixture to turn rather firm. Consistency should be so that you can form meatballs with your hand and a spoon - meatballs should be the size of a tablespoon.

Fry the meatballs in melted butter in a frying pan, not too many at the time. They should be deliciously browned, and when you press them, they should feel "rubbery".
