Hello Buzz,
This is a Norwegian specialty, aka "blod klub" or "blodklub". I could
only find one recipe, and it's kind of vague. You might find a better recipe in a Norwegian cookbook such as this one:
Norseland Lutheran Church's "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" cookbook
Phaed
Blod Klub
Ingredients :
A couple quarts pork or beef blood
3 or 4 potatoes, grated
Salt, pepper & spices to suit one's own taste
Flour to make a cake like batter (quite thick)
Preparation :
(Blood Sausage) First use salt according to amount of
blood and ice cubes to cool and keep blood from clotting.
May be baked in cake tins 45 minutes to an hour, topped
with diced lean pork, timing depends on amount in pans
or may also be cooked in bags like Blod Rolse for 1 1/2
to 2 hours depending on size of bags.

Subject: How to prepare blood for klub
Hello Wayne,
None of the recipes that I can find for this give much detail on how to
prepare the blood. See below for recipes.
After researching this, I am still a bit confused as to whether "blod klub"
is "blood sausage" or "blood dumplings". I am also a bit mystified about
what, if any, is the difference between "blod klub" and "blod pølse". Both
appear to have similar ingredients and both appear to be traditionally
cooked in a cloth bag. "Pølse" is "sausage", but the literal translation
of "klub" is quite evasive, although it is used for "dumpling" in some
parts of Norway.
The first recipe below gives a bit of info on handling the blood, but not a lot.

Blod Klub
"Farm Recipes and Food Secrets from the Norske Nook"
By Helen Myhre
3 quarts blood (see note)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon salt
4 to 5 cups flour
enough cream to cover (or not)
side pork, fried crisp (or not)
1. Strain the blood through a cloth, then add the water, salt and flour;
mix well (this must be real thick, thicker than pancake batter).
2. Sew some good linen or other white cloth to make a sack 12 inches long
and 5 inches wide.With rough seams to the outside, fill the sack with
batter to three-quarters full.Tie securely, and place it in a large kettle
of slightly salted boiling water. Boil 2 1/2 hours, or until done (when a
fork comes out dry).
3. Remove the klub from the sack when ready to serve. Slice, and serve it
hot with butter, or cut into pieces and place them in a heavy skillet.
4. Pour in the cream and stir over medium heat until the creamforms a gravy.
5. Serve as is or with crisply fried side pork.(If stored in the refrigerator,
this will keep for several days;see Note.)
Note: Pork blood is best.
Klub can be frozen, but slice or cube it before you store it in freezer bags
or else it will be impossible to cut when frozen.
Variations: Partially cooked barley or plain rice may be added before the flour,
or you can add diced pork while filling the sacks. If you prefer, the batter
can be made into dumplings by dropping large balls the size of a mixing spoon
into boiling salted water. Cook 1/2 hour, and test by breaking one in two; it
should not be doughy.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blood Klub (Hildeborg Olson)

Hi Judi,
I cannot find any Scottish cookies like you describe. Sorry.
"Drei Augen" is German for "three eyes". There is a German recipe
for "drei augen" cookies that is somewhat similar to what you
describe. See here for a photo:
Drei Augen
There's also a recipe below.
Phaed
Drei Augen
11/4 cups (21/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
21/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole natural (unblanched) almonds, finely ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup red currant jelly (or seedless raspberry preserves)
Put butter and sugar in large mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed
of electric mixer until very fluffy and well blended.
Combine flour, finely ground almonds and cinnamon in bowl;
stir until thoroughly mixed. Stir flour mixture into butter
mixture.
Divide dough into thirds. Place each third between 2 large
sheets of waxed or parchment paper. Roll out each third into
a circle 11 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick, checking the
underside of the dough and smoothing any creases. Keeping the
paper in place, layer the rolled dough on a baking sheet and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper or greased
aluminum foil.
Working with one portion of dough at a time (keep the remainder
refrigerated), gently peel away and replace 1 sheet of the paper.
(This will make it easier to lift the cookies from the paper later.)
Peel away and discard the second sheet. Use a 11/2-inch cutter to
cut out rounds, then use the small end of a 3/8-inch plain pastry
tip or a drinking straw to cut out 3 small holes in half of the
rounds. With a spatula, transfer cookies to prepared cookie sheets,
spacing 11/2 inches apart and placing the top and bottom cookies
on separate sheets, because the cookies with holes bake faster.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake, one sheet at a time, on center rack of preheated 350¡ oven
10 to 15 minutes, or until pale golden. Remove sheet to a wire
rack and let stand until cookies firm slightly. Transfer cookies
to racks to cool completely. Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies
with holes.
Heat jelly in saucepan until boiling; boil 2 minutes. Let cool
to lukewarm. Turn solid cookies over so the bottom side is up.
Spoon 1/4 teaspoon cooled jelly onto each cookie, then top with
a cut-out cookie. Press lightly so the jelly fills in the 3 holes.
Yield: About 3 dozen 11/2-inch sandwich cookies.

Hello Karl,
The only recipe for bronzing spice that I can find is part of the
bronzed tuna recipe below. Should be fine, though, no matter what
you use it for.
Phaed
Bronzed Tuna
Fresh 3/4-inch- to 1-inch-thick yellowfin tuna, 10 to 12 ounces per serving
Olive oil
For the bronzing spice:
2 teaspoons salt
11/2 teaspoons paprika
11/2 teaspoons granulated onion
11/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the creole sauce:
Seasoning mix (recipe follows)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup peeled and chopped tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green peppers
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
11/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Tabasco or hot sauce
For the seasoning mix:
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
Make the creole sauce the day before to allow the flavors to blend.
Heat before serving.
To make the sauce, mix together the seasoning mix ingredients.
In a large, heavy-duty sauce pan, heat the oil. Sauté the tomatoes,
onions, celery and peppers until the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic and seasoning mix; sauté another five minutes, then
add the stock, tomato sauce and sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes; add
hot sauce to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
To make the fish, mix together all the ingredients for the bronzing
spice. Coat both sides of the fish liberally with the seasonings;
sauté in a heavy skillet in olive oil on medium-high heat until the
exterior turns amber-brown.
Turn the fish over and sauté the other side; serve medium-rare.
Ladle the creole sauce onto a plate and top with a bronzed tuna
fillet.
I'm writing in response to Charla's request...I know exactly what
she's talking about and was able to find a recipe...however, this
one is with Spinach [but can be replaced with ground beef/feta
cheese instead]...the Dish itself is called a Byrek or Burek..it's
actually sold here in the States as well..mainly in the Bronx
[NY]..."Tina and Tony's Pizza" [in the BX] makes the Best Burek
out there..Enjoy!!
Byrek me Spinaq
(Spinach Pie)
1 cup oil, preferably olive oil
1 1/2 packets (or about 30) pastry leaves (Filo dough)
1 1/2 pounds spinach, chopped
1 cup diced feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 eggs
salt, half teaspoon
( NOTE: A medium-sized, round baking pan is recommended because
it's more authentic but any medium-sized baking pan will do).
Brush the baking pan with some of the oil, and start laying the
pastry leaves inside. First, lay two leaves, sprinkle or brush
with oil, then lay two other leaves, and repeat the procedure
until half of the leaves are laid. Make sure that they cover the
pan by hanging them about one inch over the edges of the pan.
Sprinkle spinach with salt, then mix well by hand. Add the feta
cheese, oil, onions, eggs and salt, and spread this mixture over
the already laid pastry leaves. Finish by covering the spinach
with the rest of the pastry leaves repeating the first-half
procedure and then roll the hanging edges of the bottom leaves
over the pie (think of a pizza crust), sprinkle top with oil and
bake moderately at 3501_F for about 45 minutes, or until golden
brown. Serve hot, accompanied with buttermilk, or beaten yogurt,
thinned down in cold water or with chilled stewed prunes.
Sometimes a green salad adds to the meal!
Anzac Biscuits
Ingredients
1 cup (8oz) unbleached flour
1 cup (8oz) rolled oats
1 cup (8oz) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (6oz) shredded coconut
1/2 cup (4oz) raisins
1/8 cup (1oz) chopped dried apricots
1/4 cup (2oz) sesame seeds
2 tbsp (1oz) corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp (1/4oz) baking soda
150g (5oz) butter
Instructions
Melt the butter and the corn syrup over low heat in a medium-size
saucepan. In a cup, dissolve the baking soda in 1 tsp (1/6oz) hot
water, and add it to the butter and syrup mixture. When the mixture
begins to foams, mix in the flour, the oats, the shredded coconut,
the apricots, the sesame seeds, and the raisins. Add 2 tsp (1/3oz)
water and knead lightly.
Grease your hands. Roll the dough into golf-sized balls and arrange
them, keeping at least 2cm (3/4in) distance between them, on a
lightly greased baking sheet.
Cook at 180C (350F) until the edges turn golden. Remove the baking
sheet from the oven. Cover and allow to cool at room temperature.
Using a thin, flat spatula, gently remove each biscuit from the
baking sheet. Store at room temperature.
-----------------------------
Pavlova Cake
4 egg whites
1 cup very fine sugar
2 heaped teaspoons cornflour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup whipped thickened cream
2 passion fruit
3 kiwis
2 bananas
200 g (7 oz) strawberries
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Then grease a 18 cm (7 inch)
round baking pan and dust it lightly with a little cornflour.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and gradually beat
in the sugar. Beat until the mixture is thick and the sugar is
dissolved. Carefully fold in the cornflour and vanilla essence.
Spoon into the baking pan . Reduce the oven heat to 150°C ( 300°F)
and place in oven. Bake for 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes before
turning onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely before
decorating with the whipped cream and sliced fruit.
---------------------------
Damper
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp butter
1 tsp sugar
1 cup milk (or 1/2 cup powdered milk and 1 cup water.)
preheat oven to 350° F
Mix together the dry ingredients and the butter. Add the liquid
and mix well. Knead for about 5 minutes.
Shape into a flattened ball, and place on a greased and floured
baking sheet or in a greased and floured round cake tin (gives a
better shape).Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Notes:
serve in moderately thick slices while still fairly hot. Golden
syrup is the traditional thing to spread on it. It goes well with
jam, too.
----------------------------
Mango Mousse
500g (171/2 oz) can mangoes, drained and sliced
or 4 fresh mangoes, sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon gelatin
1/4 cup boiling water
21/2 cups whipped cream.
Keep some mango slices for decoration, puree the rest. Add lemon
juice and sugar.

into mango puree.
Spoon into small bowls, refrigerate until set.
Decorate with mango slices.
