Instructions
1
✓
Mix the meat with the egg, milk, breadcrumbs, and spices. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Tip: Resting allows the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk, tenderizing the meat.
2
✓
Form into patties and fry in a butter-oil mixture. Remove from pan.
Tip: Butter provides flavor, oil prevents burning.
3
✓
Sprinkle flour into the drippings in the pan, brown it, then whisk in the broth and cream.
Tip: This combines a roux with deglazing.
