not flower...

So I'm 7/8 Swedish, and grew up around a lot of American Scandinavians (most came over mid 1800s).  So one thing I had fond memories of growing up was Lefse.

 

Anyway a long time ago now - my wife and I decided we'd make lefse, got the griddle at a Swedish store in a small town in MN, the sticks and rolling pin too.

 

So a few times a winter we cook up the potatoes (since we got the steam oven we just fill the plan and let that do the work), rice them, add butter and milk/cream.  And the next day she kneads the potatoes with flour, rolls them out and I cook them on the griddle.

We don't really have a recipe - started with some but now we just wing it.

 

Anyone else?  They sell this in the supermarkets in MN, but it's pretty expensive.

My wife's hands kneading the "dough"  Sticks for flipping, and tongs w/ paper towel to remove the burnt flour.

Now rolling, first with normal roller, then with special roller.
