Step 1
Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Let sit 2 minutes until paste forms.
Step 2
Mix ground pork, soaked breadcrumb mixture, minced onion, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until just combined.
Step 3
Roll mixture into 16–20 balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place on a plate.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams, ~60 seconds.
Step 5
Working in batches, sear meatballs until golden brown on all sides, ~8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Add beef broth to the same skillet and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
Step 7
Return meatballs to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in sour cream and lingonberry jam until smooth. Simmer uncovered 5 more minutes until sauce coats the meatballs.
Step 9
Stir in remaining 1 tbsp butter. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot over egg noodles.
