VIKINGS



Vikings image

This is my version of the popular Vikings sold at the fair by the Sons of Norway. Their recipe is a well guarded secret but a bit of experimenting and trying a few knock-off recipes and I came up with this.

Time 1h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 eggs
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 cup canned evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon butter
krusteaz pancake mix

Steps:

  • Saute onion in butter until transparent and soft.
  • Mix oatmeal, eggs, and canned milk until combined. Mix the beef and pork together then add the oatmeal mixture, onions and spices. Beat with a mixer until fluffy.
  • Using 1/3 to 1/2 cup of meat mixture (depending on how big you want your Vikings) form a ball. Place meat balls on a baking sheet or pan. Cook in a 400°F oven for about 15 minutes until done. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • When the meatballs are cool enough to handle, stick a wooden "popsicle" stick in each one (you can usually buy these at any craft store).
  • Mix the Krusteaz pancake batter with water, make it thicker than usual so that it will coat and stick to the meatballs.
  • Hold the meatball by the wooden stick and dip it into the batter, then drop it into a deep fat fryer with oil heated to 375°F Roll it around so all the sides cook evenly. Cook until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a plate covered with paper towels. Serve with ketchup, mustard or what ever you want!
