1 pound veal or beef or a combination, minced
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
warm milk and 1/2 pint cream
1 egg
salt & pepper
3/4 pint stock (water with veal or beef bones but you may use canned broth in a pinch)
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons water
1 egg yolk
dash lemon juice
Recipe
Soften bread crumbs with milk and add to meat. Add just under 1/4 pint cream and mix. Add egg and seasonings and stir. (If you're using canned beef broth, go easy on the salt as there's already plenty). Roll into balls and cook gently in stock for 15 minutes. Remove meatballs from stock and set aside. Just before serving, mix flour with water and add to stock. Bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Add remainder of cream blended with the egg yolk and lemon juice. Season and pour over meatballs.
