very juicy meatballs

Finely grate the onion into the minced meat. Press in the garlic. Add 1 egg and 2-3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, season, and mix thoroughly. Do not use soaked bread, as this will make the mixture too runny. Let it stand briefly in the refrigerator so that the breadcrumbs swell in the minced meat. For the coating, put the flour in a bowl. In the other bowl, whisk 2 eggs. Mix the minced meat thoroughly and form small meatballs with moistened hands. Coat in flour, then in the egg, and fry in a hot pan with oil. After coating, cover the pan, reduce the heat if necessary, and let the meatballs cook thoroughly with the lid closed. Tip: In Ukraine, they are also prepared with a filling, for example, with a boiled, chopped egg and dill, or with chopped, fried mushrooms. For these stuffed meatballs, it is better to use mixed minced pork and beef. Then they are easier to shape.
