Why sugar and butter are added to minced meat for cutlets: not all housewives know - useful tricks

Any chef can tell you that additional ingredients can always change cutlets beyond recognition.
As a rule, even the most daring ingredients bring positive results.
When it comes to adding butter and sugar, many may have reasonable doubts: after all, we are making cutlets, not pastries or dessert. However, cook Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of cooking and food preparation, believes that these are very useful tricks.
Why introduce these components?
Butter
We can't always determine the degree of juiciness of store-bought meat "by eye". Even if at first glance it seems decent and high-quality, the cutlets may still turn out dry.
Therefore, using butter allows you to prepare the most juicy dish.
There are two ways to add butter. The first is to take the butter, cut it into cubes and "hide" a piece in the center of each cutlet.
The second is even simpler: you just need to chop the previously frozen butter and add it in this form to the minced meat.
Sugar
This product has two functions at once, so it is still worth introducing. The first reason is simple: sugar is considered a natural flavor enhancer for all other products. Therefore, even "average" cutlets will turn out to be exemplary and delicious.
The second task of sugar is to give the cutlets a noticeable crust. It "seals" the dish and prevents the meat juice from evaporating.
