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.
