  • 1 egg(s)
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 pinch(s) of sugar
  • 1 tsp, leveled salt
  • 1 tsp, crushed paprika powder, sweet

  • 2 tbsp, leveled oat flakes
  • 1 tsp, sifted breadcrumbs, maybe a little more
  • 1 pinch of ground pepper
  • 1 tsp, sautéed marjoram

  • 1 tsp mustard

  • Clarified butter or sunflower oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

with oat flakes

Combine all ingredients, including the mustard, in a bowl and knead into a smooth paste. Chill for about 15 minutes to allow the oats to thicken. Form the meatballs into palm-sized dumplings. Gently flatten with a moistened spatula. Coat both sides of the meatballs in the oats. Heat clarified butter or sunflower oil in a pan and fry the meatballs over medium heat until a nice crust forms on both sides. Be careful not to overheat: the oats burn quickly. Served with fried potatoes and a glass of buttermilk, this simple dish is a feast, just like grandma used to make!
