3 . Stage

4 . Stage

Roll the mixture into balls measuring 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.

5 . Stage

Place the flour in a shallow pan, and roll the balls in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour, and place the meatballs onto a plate or baking sheet, pressing to flatten slightly. This will keep them from rolling away. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

6 . Stage

Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, 8 or 10 at a time, and cook until nicely browned on the outside, and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

7 . Stage

Drain meatballs on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
