Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the milk and let them soften. Then, blend them together.

Using a spoon, shape portions of meat of similar size into meatballs and place them on a tray. Now fry them, reserving them to be added to the sauce.

For the sauce, put 3 tbsp. olive oil to heat and add the flour. Cook it for a few minutes until it turns golden brown. Then add the meat stock, stirring constantly so that no lumps are formed, and leave to cook for five minutes. Add the cream and cook the meatballs in the sauce for fifteen minutes.
