Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground pork, minced onion, flour, egg, milk, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Wet your hands and form mixture into 12–16 meatballs, each about 1.5 inches across.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, ~90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add meatballs in a single layer and cook 4–5 minutes without moving, until golden brown on the bottom.

  5. Step 5

    Shake the pan and roll meatballs over. Cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Stir lingonberry jam, broth, and vinegar into the pan. Simmer 2 minutes until sauce coats the meatballs.
