🥘 Ingredients

For the frikadeller (meat patties)

1/2 lb or 225 g ground pork
1/2 lb or 225 g ground beef
1/2 cup or 70 g grated onion
3 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups or 350 ml half-and-half milk
1 egg, well beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup or 75 g butter

For the Sauce:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups or 350 ml low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/2 cup or 120 ml heavy cream
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and ground black pepper

🔪 Instructions

For the Patties

1. Combine pork and beef in stand mixer bowl, add onion. Using paddle attachment, stir in flour and beat thoroughly.

Stir in milk 2 tablespoons at a time, keeping mixer at stir speed to aerate mixture.

You can do this by hand but it will take a little longer.

2. Combine egg, salt and pepper together and add to meat mixture. Speed 2 until fluffy.

Pour into smaller container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Melt butter in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Using a spoon, drop meat mixture directly into skillet.

Do not crowd. Fry patties for 3 minutes per side. Keep warm while making sauce.

For the Sauce:

1. Discard oil in pan and wipe clean with paper towel. Return pan to medium-high heat and add butter.

2. When foaming subsides, add flour and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is light brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Slowly whisk in broth. Add brown sugar and bring to simmer.

4. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce is reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and return to simmer.

Add patties to sauce and simmer, turning occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve over egg noodles.
