In a bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt and pepper together. Pour the milk and gently mix using hands until they just incorporated. The mixture should be slightly wet and not to sticky.
Ensure the meatballs are the same size using a cookie scoop to keep them even. Roll meatball mixture into small meatballs about 1-2 inches, then flatten like a patty.
Flour them all around and place them in the skillet in batches. When meatballs are golden brown and slightly crispy about 4 minutes, remove from the skillet to a paper towel to drain.
Serve meatballs warm with side dish of your choice.
