Add egg and rusk (or breadcrumbs) to the meat mixture and combine until well blended.

Shape the mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix flour with boiled water to create a gravy, adding black pepper and garlic powder to taste.

Pour the gravy over the meatballs in the skillet and simmer until thickened.
