Lefse with the Fam.

For those of you that don't know what lefse is... You are missing out!! It is a warm bready, buttery, sugary concoction of deliciousness :))

So this weekend when we had all the family over for the wedding (seriously we had 12 people sleeping in the house! Only 6 beds too mind you!) we decided to make some lefse. It seems like whenever we get the Hansen side together this has to happen... And I'm not complaining!!

Lefse is a Norwegian type of tortilla that you make out of mashed potatoes (I know it keeps getting better... Butter, sugar, mashed potatoes...yum).

Lefse how to:

1: make mashed potatoes without putting a bunch of salt or anything in them.

2: add flour until is becomes like a dough.

3: separate them into biscuit sized balls and role them out in flat circles.

4: just set the biggest griddle/flat pan you have and cook them until they are browned on either side. (like tortillas)

P.s. You should definitely fold it as shown in the picture... It is the only way to insure that none of you sugar escapes you!!

5: butter them up, sprinkle sugar on top, and eat up!!
