Lefse! Yummy Lefse!

Keith has a great friend from his Greek class that knows how to make Lefse! Norwegian folk- like us!

Pete and his wife Katie have all the right gear- grooved rolling pin, round non-stick griddle and fabric covered rolling disc! For those missing out and not in the "know"- Lefse is a potato flat bread that you roll out thinly, cook quickly and eat with butter and sugar rolled up. YUM!

The first time we tried making Lefse it was a real adventure as the dough was un-cooperative and we were lucky to get anything onto the griddle! This time we had the right dough and I even tried a batch of our family recipe that worked! There was lots of Lefse consumed and enjoyed that night! The kids had so much fun.

When I was growing up my Grandma Handy would make a batch of Lefse at Christmas and send it to us on the Greyhound Bus. I can remember all 4 of us piling into the car to drive the the depot to get the treasured LEFSE! We would then ration the Lefse until it was gone!

I'm thinking that our Lefse making days have just begun!
