1 egg
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ cup soft bread crumbs
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp brown sugar
Cooking oil
½ tsp salt
Sour Cream Sauce (see below)
¼ tsp pepper
hot cooked noodles
¼ tsp ginger
Minced parsley for garnish
¼ tsp ground cloves

Sour Cream Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp flour
Dash cayenne pepper
1 cup beef broth
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup (½ pt.) dairy sour cream, room temperature

Blend ground beef, egg and bread crumbs thoroughly with brown sugar, salt, pepper, ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and milk. Form into 12 meatballs. Fry in hot oil, about 1-inch deep, until fully cooked, turning only once. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare Sour Cream Sauce. Fold meatballs into sauce. Heat gently to serving temperature. If you heat too quickly or too high, the sour cream will goof up. Serve with hot noodles. Garnish with minced parsley.

Makes 4 servings.

Sour Cream Sauce:
Pour all excess-oil from fry pan. Add butter to brownings. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Add broth, salt, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce; cook, stirring until thickened and bubbly. Empty sour cream into a large bowl. Gradually add sauce, stirring constantly.
