How To make Lefse
2 c Milk, scalded
1/2 c Lard
1 tb Salt
4 c Flour
Add lard, salt and 2 cups flour to scalded milk and mix well over low heat. Remove from fire. Sift 2 cups of flour on board, add warm dough and work in flour. Knead well and cool. This dough can be rolled immediately or kept in a cool place for a couple of days. May be stored in a plastic bag. Make a small patty, about hamburger size, with even sealed edges as you would for pastry. Flour board lightly and with a Scandinavian rolling pin roll patty in all directions, keeping the dough round. Roll lightly, stretching dough until it is almost as large as the lefse baker. Use pointed stick to handle dough when it is transferred from the board to the baker. Brown lightly, prick air bubbles, turn and brown other side. It may be necessary to change heat control from high to low. This is a soft bread. Serve with butter, or butter and sugar. (Note: I don't have either a Scandinavian rolling pin or a lefse baker, so I use a regular rolling pin and a griddle. This is like a Swedish tortilla! We usually spread butter and sprinkled sugar over the lefse then rolled them up and DEVOURED them!)

Norwegian Potato Lefse (Vegan)
Potato lefse is like a soft flatbread. It is hard to find here in America, though I believe there are specialty stores where you can still buy them. But in Norway you would find them in any grocery store. In fact, most convenient stores would also have them. Norwegians love potatoes, and this is just another way to serve them. During World War II my great grandmother used to make these almost daily. They were easy and cheap to make. One could almost say they were sustained on these flat breads.
They are particularly easy to make with yesterday’s left-over mashed potatoes. Though they look a little like tortillas, they have a very different taste.

Hi - I'm Amy Marquard - an American with all Swedish and Norweigan parts. I love lefse. Really good, tender and warm lefse (with melted butter and brown sugar, of course!)
And I love to make it. In fact, my daughter and I recently peeled 85 pounds of potatoes and turned them into beautiful lefse, one 5 lb. batch at a time, for good friends and family.
Throughout the process, I worked hard to make lefse easier to make and the very best to eat, by using just a few real ingredients. Like real potatoes, not instant.
And after reading more than 100 lefse recipes, I challenged, scrutinized and experimented with each ingredient and technique while documenting my findings of every last lefse-making step.
The result? A solid recipe, fool-proof techniques and repeatable results that, combined with a whole lot of love, makes what my family thinks is the very best-tasting lefse ever!
For all the people who have asked, So, how do you make lefse? - I present my video gift: A 2-day process boiled down to 3 short minutes for your enjoyment and education.
Make lefse. Smile more!
Sincerely,
Amy
