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!)

How To Make Lefse (Norwegian Potato Flatbread)
This video is a one off as this is not a cooking channel but it does represent history, at least our families history. On this episode of Searching for History, Erin demonstrates how to make Lefse (Norwegian Potato flatbread). Making lefse is a tradition in our family, going back generations. Some say the history of Lefse originates in the Viking age. However, what is definitely true is Lefse was being made in Norway in the 19th century and Norwegian immigrants brought lefse making to the United States. Today it is a family tradition for most Norwegian American families. This particular recipe has been passed down through our family. It is Grandma Angie's recipe. If you haven't tried lefse, you really should make some and give it a try. We have never met a person that didn't like it.
