Directions
Mix together the milk and eggs in a large bowl.
Add the onion, salt, bread crumbs, ground beef, and ground pork. Mix well.
Shape into one-inch balls and set aside on waxed paper.
You can oven-bake or brown in a skillet.
To oven bake, preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Place the meatballs in a large baking dish and bake for 13 to 15 minutes until cooked through. Drain any accumulated fat.
To brown in a skillet, heat a large skillet with a small amount of vegetable oil. Coat the meatballs with a dusting of flour and brown in batches. Remove to paper towels to drain.
To make the sauce; heat the butter in a large saucepan and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds.
Add the honey, ketchup, and soy sauce and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the meatballs.
Gently stir to coat and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until glazed. Make sure to stir gently to prevent breaking up the meatballs.
Remove to a serving platter and serve. Stick a toothpick in each meatball if they are for a party.
Makes around 72 to 80 meatballs—3 to 5 per person appetizer-sized serving.
