Danish Pork Frickadeller - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs ground lean pork (lean and finely ground)
    1/2 cup flour
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon onion (grated)
    1 teaspoon lemon rind (grated)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 cup club soda (or water if you must)
    4 tablespoons butter
    2/3 cup cream (light to heavy)
Preparation
    Combine 1st 7 ingredients (pork through pepper); blend thoroughly.
    Gently stir in club soda and shape meat into small balls using your hands.
    Heat butter in a non-stick skillet. Brown pork balls on all sides. Lower heat & cook gently about 20 minutes or till done. Transfer pork balls hot serving dish and keep warm.
    Add cream to pan juices. Bring to a quick boil (stirring constantly) and pour over pork balls.
    NOTE #1: Frickadeller are eaten at room temp as an appy or hot as a main-dish. If served at room temp, omit sauce from prep. While not a part of the recipe, my experience here has been that room temp meatballs are served w/a berry preserves dipping sauce and I think a berry chutney would also work well.
    NOTE #2: This is definitely a calorie and fat content splurge when served hot. The recipe suggested boiled or browned potatoes + pickled beets to accompany them.
