Griddle Rolling pin Turning stick Pastry board Drain boiled potatoes; mash and gradually add butter, salt, milk and sugar. Whip well until Gradually add 1/2-cup flour and mix well. Add enough of remaining flour to form soft dough. Place onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 30 pieces of dough. Roll into 6" round discs. Place the discs in middle of a heated ungreased griddle. Bake until light golden. Turn and bake on other side. Place on clean, dry towel and cool. You can bake them without a griddle. Use a iron frying pan instead. You may have to make smaller ones, but that is OK, they will be easier to roll out and handle. One way to serve this delicacy is to spread it with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and make a roll. Cut the roll in the center at an angle and serve. Lefse can also be filled with favorite sandwich meats and cheeses. Pop it in the Foreman Grill for a few minutes until the cheese melts. In Norway we also eat lefse with thinly sliced brunost. This soft, thin bread is ideal to make delicious appetizers. All you have to do is fill; roll and cut it at an angle. Then
you can add garnish by sticking a toothpick with an olive or a cherry tomato with a sprig of parsley through it. Voila, you'll have beautiful appetizers. Only imagination is your limit. Hope you will enjoy this Lefse Recipe. Happy Baking!
