Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. You will see curds at the top.
• Add bread to a small bowl and pour the buttermilk over the bread. Allow the bread to soak up all the milk and mix a little with your hands. Add the bread mixture to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile add olive oil to a small skillet. Add in onion and sauté until tender about 2-3 minutes.
• Add in garlic and sauté for one minute.
• Add onion and garlic to the bowl with the bread along with the beef, pork, cheese, eggs, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Combine the mixture using your hands just until combined. Try not to over work the meatballs. The mixture will be wet. Let stand for a couple of minutes before rolling.
• Roll out 16 meatballs. I make them the size of golf balls.
• Drizzle a skillet with olive oil. Over high heat sear the meatballs on all sides to brown. About 1-2 minutes on each side. (If meatball sticks to the pan give it more time before flipping). Also be careful when flipping meatballs they are pretty fragile.
• Place meatballs on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. They will be slightly undercooked on the inside but they will continue to cook as they come out of the oven. If this is an issue leave in the oven for longer (5 minutes) or simmer in tomato sauce for a few minutes.
• Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.

BUTTERMILK MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine bread pieces and buttermilk in a bowl. I use my Kitchenaide so just put it in the mixing bowl.
• Let the bread and buttermilk sit for 10 minutes.
• Then mash, or mix, to a smooth paste.
• Add other ingredients and blend well, but be careful NOT to overwork the mixture.
• I then place the mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This just firms the mixture and makes it easier to handle.
• Next I form 1 inch balls and deep fry them at 310 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Not sure how they would be baked but please let me know if anyone tries that.
• Last I usually put them in the crock pot with my sauce for about an hour to insure the middle is done well and to let the flavors blend.
• So far this recipe has never failed me.
