Grandma’s original recipe

Soak the bread roll and squeeze out any excess water. Chop the onion. Knead the minced meat, egg white, onion, bread roll, salt, and pepper together and form meatballs. Boil them in water or broth for 5 minutes, then let them stand for another 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the broth and keep warm. Heat the fat in a saucepan, add the flour, and stir constantly to add the meatball broth (add enough broth to make the sauce the right consistency). Add the capers and egg yolk. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Return the meatballs to the sauce and serve with boiled potatoes.
