Norwegian Meatcakes with Sauce

We had the privilege of having a missionary celebrate his birthday while in our area. He's from Norway so we contacted his mother. She said this is one of his favorite foods. If you enjoy meat and potatoes, you'll love this hearty meal!

1 lb ground beef
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp potato flour/starch
7 fl. oz milk
1 egg

Sauce:
2 Cups water
6 Tbsp plain flour
7 fl. oz milk or water
1 beef bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Place ground beef into a bowl, add salt, and work in. It should become sticky. Add the potato starch and spices. Stir well.

Add milk 2 tablespoons at a time. (Stir well before adding more milk!)

Add the egg. With a tablespoon dipped in cold water, form small "cakes"/"cookies" and fry them in a frying pan with butter.

Remove and place on a plate when cooked.

Sauce:
After you have fried the meatcakes, add the 2 cups of water to the pan and let it boil. After a minute, pour it into a different sauce pan.

Add the bouillon cube and bring to a boil. Mix the milk or water and flour (no lumps).

Add the milk/flour mix to the boiling water while stirring. Add meatcakes to the sauce and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over cubed, boiled potatoes.
