Lefse

Lefse
While at South Dakota my aunt taught me how to make lefse.

Definition Time!!!
Lefse is a kind-of-ish tortilla, baked in a simmilar way, though it has a kind of sweet taste and instead of cheese and peppers and etc. you usually roll it up in sugar and butter! ( It's very yummy!)

How to make it!
It is very hard. We worked a long time on it. Even so, lefse is a very good food for Thanksgiving and Christmas (or any other time). If you want to make it, I put a recipe below for you.

Okay, this a very breif recipe but it is easy and tells you the basics. If you follow this your lefse will turn out great.

Ingredients:
3 cups instant mashed potato
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
1es
cup flour


Directions:
Melt butter and salt in 1 cup boiling water. Pour mixture over instant potatoes and stir . Add 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour; stir together, then cool in refrigerator. Roll into golf ball size balls, then roll out until thin. Cook in hot griddle. Brown lightly on both sides.

Lefse is good!
Lefse is good!

Lefse is good! But I make it by putting butter on the tortilla and spreding the butter with a knife, then taking suger and dumping it on, (hee hee hee!) Then rolling the tortilla up and eating it!
Lefse is good!

Barbara is an excellent Lefse roller. She caught on very fast and kept up with her auntie. She is correct, it is very good. Love, Auntie

What can I say? Becca, you spelled "spreding" wrong. Look it up in the dictionary and your assignment is to write it 20 times and turn it in to me.
