Kumla
4 to 6 lb. of picnic ham.
Cover with water about 1/2 the depth of ham.
Boil from 2 - 3 hrs., or until tender and done.
Cook the ham in a large kettle with a lid.
When the ham is done, take out of the broth to be served later with the potato dumplings.
How you make the Dumplings:
Start preparing the dumplings about an hour before the ham is done.
5 cups grated and peeled raw potatoes.
About 6 cups unsifted flour.
9 tsp. baking powder, should be level.
Taste the broth to see if it is salty- if not salty add 1 tsp. or a little
more salt.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to the grated raw potatoes.
Stir together, should be like biscuit dough.
Take some of the dough, about the size of a tennis ball, roll in flour to absorb some of the stickiness, shape into round dumplings with your hands- drop into boiling ham broth.
Boil very gently for 1 hour, turning dumplings for more even cooking.
Do not put too many in kettle, allow some room to raise.
Use the cover when boiling dumplings.
Serve with ham broth poured over the dumplings on plate along with the ham.
Use butter also or whatever you wish!
Some here I know like cream with the dumplings!
