SALLY'S NORWEGIAN LEFSE

Steps:

• Mix the first 4 ingredients together.
• Then add the flour, mixing thoroughly and adding a little extra flour if the dough seems too moist.
• If using a pancake griddle, divide dough into egg-sized balls(if using a large lefse grill, larger balls will be needed.).
• Chill the dough-balls for 30 minutes.
• Roll out each ball on a pastry cloth until very thin.
• Bake on a griddle or a lefse grill set at 400 - 500 degrees, until small brown spots appear on the surface. Then, turn and bake the other side until spots appear.
• Cover with a towel or waxed paper after baking, to keep soft.
• Serve buttered, and sprinkled with brown or granulated sugar.

NORWEGIAN LEFSE

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with water and cook until tender. Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Place into a large bowl. Beat butter, cream, salt, and sugar into the hot riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Stir flour into the potato mixture. Pull off pieces of the dough and form into walnut size balls. Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out lefse balls to 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cook on a hot (400 degree F/200 C) griddle until bubbles form and each side has browned. Place on a damp towel to cool slightly and then cover with damp towel until ready to serve.
