1/4 c. whipping cream
3 tbsp. water
1/4 c. fine Holland Rusk crumbs
1 tsp. dried basil or 2 tsp. fresh basil
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/4 lb. ground beef
1/4 lb. ground pork
2 tbsp. grated onion
Butter

Combine the cream and water in a small bowl, then add crumbs, mixing until crumbs are moistened. Combine the basil, pepper, salt, beef, pork and onion in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the crumbs mixture and mix until well blended, then shape into 1 inch balls. Saute in a small amount of butter in a fry pan until browned on all sides. Shake the fry pan occasionally to keep the balls round. Makes 16-20.
