Meatballs that is. His method makes the best looking, best tasting
meatballs I have ever had. They come out perfectly round, juicy and
tender.
A perfect main course and sauce is not required. Cooking them in a muffin
tin! I never would have thought of that either.

OK. Post the recipe please.

How about a link to a recipe site?

The soft breadcrumbs you make yourself make for the nicest meatballs. I
tried it with Progresso crumbs and while good it did not have the delightful
texture that they do using fresh crumbs. I like to moisten the crumbs with
a little milk before using them.

Alton prefers a #70 scoop and mini tins, none of which I have. I use a
standard tin and a 1/2 cup measure to make larger balls. I think they turn
out very nice just the same.
