Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
ICA’s kolbulle is an egg-free wheat pancake with cured pork. Water, wheat flour and salt form the batter, while lingonberry jam accompanies the fried pancakes.
Water, flour and salt are whisked together in a bowl. The supplied sliced cured pork is diced and fried in batches in a frying pan until crisp, then placed on a plate.
A quarter of the pork returns to the pan and is allowed to become warm. A quarter of the batter is poured over it.
The pancake fries over medium heat for about three minutes. It is turned and fries for another two minutes; the remaining pancakes are made in the same way.
ICA recommends serving kolbulle steaming hot from the pan with lingonberry jam. The crisp pork is enclosed by the wheat-and-water pancake, with jam offered alongside.
