Finely chop 1 onion and add it to the soaked breadcrumbs.

In a bowl, combine the soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, 500 g of ground beef, 1 egg, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ingredients until well combined to form a meatball paste.

Roll the mixture into meatballs.

Heat butter in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until they have a nice crust.

Add calf stock (about 2 tablespoons) to the sauce and adjust to taste.

Serve the meatballs with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam.
