For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the meatball mixture. Serve these Finnish meatballs with mashed potatoes (perunasose) and a dollop of cranberry sauce for a truly authentic experience. A quarter of a dill pickle on the side provides a pleasant tangy contrast to the richness of the meatballs and gravy.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, minced onion, egg, cream, salt, and allspice. Mix with your hands until just combined – avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender. Roll the mixture into spheres approximately the size of golf balls. (Approximately 10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook the meatballs until evenly browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Remove the browned meatballs to a plate, reserving the flavorful drippings in the skillet. (Approximately 20 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Sift the flour into the skillet with the drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a light golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Then, stir in the cream until the gravy is smooth and thickened. If lumps persist, strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve. (Approximately 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Return all the meatballs to the skillet and gently stir to coat them evenly with the gravy. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the gravy has thickened further, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Approximately 20 minutes)

Oct 3, 2023The gravy was a little tricky for me at first, but the tip about straining it was a lifesaver. The end result was perfect!
