• Cut dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls, dusting your hands and sprinkling work surface with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Press your thumb into each dumpling to make an indentation, and fill with a small amount of salt pork-onion mixture. Pinch the dumplings closed and roll in flour.

SWEDISH MEAT DUMPLINGS FOR SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except flour); blend thoroughly. Shape into small balls the size of a large marble.
• Roll in flour, drop into your simmering soup and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Notes: This is admittedly done on a small scale, but easily doubled. The yield will depend on how faithful you are to size. I like to use 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce to add smoky flavor + darker color to the meat mixture, but you can also add 1-2 tbsp of Pepperidge Farm dressing mix to enhance the flavor & stretch the yield. It's a tiny recipe w/lots of versatility!

PORTUGUESE POTATO DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and place in a small saucepan. Cover with cold water and 1 teaspoon of the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain.
• Peel potatoes while they are still warm. (Not too hot, or you might burn your hands.) Place the peeled potatoes in a ricer over a small bowl and push through. Alternatively, using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula, mash the potatoes through the holes in a colander into a bowl set below it. You can mash the potatoes by hand, but the dumplings won't be as fluffy.
• Add the ham, Parmesan, beaten eggs, butter, nutmeg, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.
• Line a small baking sheet with paper towels, and place the flour in a small mixing bowl.
• Roll the potato mixture into little balls, about 2 rounded teaspoonfuls each. Toss each dumpling in the flour, shake off the excess flour and place on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a 6-quart soup pot or stockpot, combine the beef broth, chicken broth, water, onion, carrots, parsley and cilantro. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the potato dumplings to the skillet, leaving enough room to turn them. Brown the dumplings on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, until golden, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Continue to brown the remaining dumplings, using 2 tablespoons of the oil for each batch.
• Heat the beef-chicken stock over medium-high heat until simmering, Using a ladle, carefully place the dumplings into the simmering stock. Simmer dumplings for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately since the dumplings are fragile.

KROPPKAKOR (SWEDISH DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Bake the potatoes on a tray for 1 hour until cooked through. (Test by piercing a small knife or fork into the centre of the potato. When soft they are done.)
• Meanwhile, to make the mushroom duxelle filling, heat the butter in a pan. Gently fry the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme and allspice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the liquid that comes out of the mushrooms has evaporated and the mixture is almost dry. Set aside and leave to cool.
• Once cool enough to handle, roll into 2cm/¾in balls. Chill in the fridge until the potatoes are cooked.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, peel them and pass through a potato ricer or use a potato masher to create a smooth mash.
• Add the flour, egg, egg yolks and salt, and mix. Divide the dough into walnut-sized portions. Place the prepared mushroom filling into the centre of each dough ball. Cover your hands in flour, and carefully work the dough around the mushroom mixture until it is completely encased within the dough. Each dumpling should be about the size of a golf ball.
• Cook the dumplings in a large pan of boiling water. Simmer until they start to float to the surface. This can be a little tricky if some of them have air pockets, but they should be ready in around 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, strain the dumplings and leave to cool slightly.
• Heat a knob of butter in a large pan and carefully sear the dumplings. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Mix the defrosted lingonberries with the sugar and set aside.
• Heat a little more butter in a pan and gently fry the mushrooms for a couple of minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt 50g/1¾oz of butter over a high heat until it starts to smell nutty and turn brown. Turn off the heat and remove from the pan so it doesn't burn.
• Divide the dumplings between 4 plates, garnish generously with the wild mushrooms and lingonberries, and pour the brown butter over to finish.
