Hello Pat,
"Kumla" is just one of the names for Norwegian potato balls or potato dumplings.
There are a half dozen other names for them, including "klub". There are three
recipes below and more on my website here:
Norwegian Potato Balls
There's an article about making kumla here:
Kumla Story
and the recipe that goes with that article is here:
Kumla Recipe
Phaed
Kumla (Klub)
4 cups grated potatoes
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 cups white flour
ham
dash salt
cornstarch for coating
Mix and press into a ball, placing a piece of ham in the center.
Roll in cornstarch and drop into hot water with ham stock (enough
to make a good taste). Set at a low temperature for about a hour.
Turn them over with a spoon.
-------------------------------------------------
Kumla (Klub #2)
4 cups grated potatoes
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 cups white (or wheat) flour
crispy fried bacon
salt & pepper to taste
grilled onions
vegetable broth
Mix first three ingredients in large bowl. Use large ice cream scoop
to form dumplings. Take some of the potato mixture (until scoop is
about half-full) and drop fried bacon and onion into scoop using potato
mixture to cover and fill remainder of scoop well.
Place into dutch oven (large saucepan) filled with vegetable broth and
cook until klub rises to surface. Serve immediately.
Some folks serve this dish using a white sauce made from the broth,
however, they are tasty as is. You may also (good!) slice klub in
half and fry for breakfast.
-------------------------------------------------
Kumla
5 cups grated raw potatoes (hie you off to the root cellar and select
about 10 smallish to medium tubers) (large ones for baking)
3 tablespoon salt, heaping
1 cup rye flour
1/3 cup graham flour (try health food stores). Don't substitute.
1/4 pound fresh salt pork
2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cup all-purpose flour
Remove rind and cut up pork into small cubes. You may save some work by
letting the diner remove the rind, which is easier to do after being cooked.
Besides some intrepid non-Viking may actually eat the rind.
Combine dry ingredients by stirring with spoon and sifting.
In grating potatoes, good results can be had with a fine hand grater. Can
substitute food processor if you can get potatoes grated into small particles
without mushing them. The idea is to release enough water from the potatoes,
without adding tap water to the mixture, in order to get a moist dough.
Add the dry ingredients to the grated potatoes; not the other way around.
Mix with large spoon, metal or wooden, until all ingredients are mixed, and
the dough is moist. This is devilish hard work, but worth the efforts to do
it right. Have deep well kettle full of boiling water, to which has been added
one T salt. Moisten left hand in cold water, and with large spoon in right,
mold two T of dough around a cube of pork to make a dumpling. Make sure the
outer surface is seamed over so that it doesn't come apart in the pot. Moisten
hand with each dumpling. Drop dumplings into the boiling water and keep boiling
constantly. Cover pot to get steaming action. Don't allow dumplings to stick to
the bottom. Don't stir, but shake (rotate) kettle occasionally. Boil slowly for
60-90 minutes. This make approximately 20 dumplings, so that have that many
pork cubes available.
If eaten as soon as ready, skip the traditional heated fat. This was for
arctic residents. The pork gives enough fat, so that extra is not needed.
No need to sprinkle with salt, as there is plenty in the recipe and the
boiling water. Perhaps too much. Use pepper.
Crisp celery goes very well with this meal.
Phaedrus,
you were nice enough to supply me with a recipe that I thought was
lost forever.... so in return... I have located a family favorite for
years.. it is a fantastic Nordic dessert.

Hello Hillary,
See below.
Phaed
Pannekoeken (Dutch Pancakes)
500 gr wheat flour
1 l milk
4 medium eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp oil
1 tsp sugar
It can be hand mixed or put in a blender. For a blender, combine all
ingredients and blend. Hand method: Put flour in a bowl, make a
little hole in the middle. Pour in some milk in the hole and start
stirring. gradually pour in all milk, making a smooth batter. mix in
the eggs, one by one, add salt, sugar and oil and mix again until the
batter is smooth and not lumpy. The pancakes should be baked in a
large wide frying pan (a french crepe pan is ok too) preferably in
butter (or oil, if you don't like cholesterol). The butter should be
very hot. Pour in some batter (about 2 or 3 tablespoons) and bake.
Turn the pancake when the upper surface is dry and bake the reverse
side for approx. the same amount of time.
You can use anything you like as a filling, use your imagination.
Savoury pizza type fillings are nice and can be put on top of the
pancake after it's baked.
Classic fillings are bacon and syrup pancakes and apple pancakes.
For the bacon pancakes you have to fry the bacon first and then pour
over the batter. They are served with dutch syrup, which has a
thicker consistency than american syrup. Here in Australia they sell
cane molasses, and that tastes almost the same as dutch pancake syrup.
Apple pancakes the same : first bake some fine chunks of apple and
pour over the batter. These pancakes are great with apple syrup, but
I'm not sure that's available in the States. Normal syrup or sugar
and cinnamon will do as well I reckon.
My favourite is a pancake with bacon and salami and syrup, but I think
that's an acquired taste.

Pannekoeken
Total preparation time: 15min
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Flour
about 2 1/2 cups Milk
Steps:
Mix the eggs followed by each ingredient listed until you add the flour.
When you add the flour also add about 1/3 of the milk to get a thick
mixture and stir well to get the lumps out. After that add the rest of
the milk (hold back about 1/2 cup) to get a nice smooth mixture about
the thickness of half-and-half or a light whipping cream. It should easily
run of the spoon. Add the remaining milk if needed and even a little more
could be possible for the right thickness. Heat a 9-10 inch skillet well
(medium/high) and add about a 1/3 teaspoon of margarine. Add about a soup
spoon (6-8oz) full of batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook until brown edges show (minute or two) and then turn over for 30 seconds
to brown other side. Stack on plate to keep warm (or in 200F oven) and repeat
to make the rest of the crepes.
Spread a light coating of cinnamon sugar on each and roll tightly. The filling
can be anything you like including: Maple syrup, honey, strawberry glaze, jelly,
chocolate, cooked vegetables, minced meats or even spicy black bean sauce to
make an appetizer. Serve at once (when rolled) and decorate the plate as you like.

Digestive Biscuits (Sweet) Recipe
Ingredients
4oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1tbs milk
3oz butter
4oz medium oatmeal
1/4tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tbs sugar
Method
Put all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the
dry ingredients and mix to a stiff dough with as little milk as possible.
You may need a little more than one tablespoonful of milk but be very
careful because a sticky dough will not roll out easily. Roll out thinly
on a floured board and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or upturned
cup. Bake on a well greased baking tray and put into the oven at 200
degrees centigrade and cook for about 20 minutes. They should be just
golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
------------------------------------------------
English Digestive Biscuits
1/2 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 cup Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup Confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup cold milk
Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut or rub in the butter with
a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips. Add the sugar and enough
milk to make a stiff dough.
Knead this mixture on a flour surface until smooth. (All this can be done
almost instantly in a food processor.) If you have time, return the dough
to your bowl, cover and chill for an hour.
This resting time will make the biscuits more tender and crisp. After the
dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough
until it is a bit more than 1/8 inch thick, and cut into any desired shape.
(Traditional digestives are about 2 1/2 inches round.) Place on greased
cookie sheets, prick evenly with a fork and bake until pale gold, about
15 to 20 minutes.
