Place the torn bread in a mixing bowl with the Milk and let it soak.

In a sauté pan over medium heat, place 2 T of the Clarified butter.

When hot, add the Onion and Garlic along with a pinch or two of salt.

Sweat the Onions until they become soft and translucent… Do not Sauté them (No sizzling). Remove from the heat and extract the garlic.

In your stand mixer’s bowl, combine the Milk/Bread mixture, Ground Veal, Ground Pork, Egg Yolk, Egg, 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt, White Pepper, Coriander, Mace, Cardamom, and Onions. Beat on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes.

You want a completely homogenous mixture.

Lay a double layer of Plastic wrap over your kitchen scale and scoop meatballs into 1-ounce portions, then move to a sheet pan.

Chill the sheet pans for about 30 minutes.

Rub your hands with olive oil, or use latex gloves, shape the meatballs into… Well, balls.

Heat the remaining 2 TB of butter in the sauté pan over medium-low heat, or use and electric skillet set to 250 degrees F. Sautee the meatballs golden brown all over, about 8 to 12 minutes.

Move the meatballs to a baking dish and place in the warmed oven; you may have to work in batches.

When all of the meatballs have been cooked, decrease the heat to low and add the flour to the pan or skillet.

Whisk until the flour is sufficiently 'Cooked', about 2 to 3 minutes.

Gradually add the mushroom stock while whisking constantly.

Continue whisking until sauce begins to thicken.

Add the sour cream and continue cooking until the sauce thickens a little more.

Retrieve the meatballs from the oven, smother them with the sauce and serve in a chafing dish with toothpicks as an appetizer or serve over egg noodles or over Basmati rice as a main course.
