How-to make Appetizer Meatballs

How-to make Appetizer Meatballs. This is a simple recipe you can cook as an appetizer for any gathering.
Ingredients
1/3 cup of plain breadcrumbs
1/3 cup of milk
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 egg (or egg white)
1 1/3 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 tsp of salt
1/8 tsp of pepper
1/4 tsp of allspice
2 tbsp of butter
1 tbsp of flour
1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
1. Soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5-10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
2. To a bowl, add onion, egg, ground beef, soaked bread crumbs, allspice, salt and pepper.
3. Mix all the ingredients together with your hands and shape the meat mixture into small balls, less than 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture starts to sticks to your hands, wet them with cold water.
4. Heat a skillet with butter and extra virgin olive oil.
5. Saute the meatballs in 2 or 3 batches, turning them frequently to keep from sticking. Drain them on paper towels.
6. Drain the excess olive oil and scrape off and discard any browned bits of meat that may be sticking to pan after the meatballs are done.
7. To the same pan, add butter and flour to make a roux and stir until it browns.
8. Quickly add a can of beef stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until gravy thickens.
9. Remove from the heat and serve immediately with the meatballs.
For real swedish meatballs, use lingonberry preserves, but it is optional.
