Dessert - Lefse (Norwegian Potato Pancakes)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled & cooked
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup cream
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2-1/2 - 3 cups flour
  

Directions:

Mash or rice potatoes thoroughly. Whip in butter, cream, salt & sugar, until light & fluffy. Cool completely in fridge.

Remove chilled potato mixture & add 1/2 the flour, beat until smooth. Beat in enough of remaining flour to make a soft dough; shape into ball & place on lightly floured surface. Roll into log & slice into equal pieces (about 30). Roll out each piece as thinly as possible, on lightly floured surface.

Heat lefse grill or skillet to 325°F, drops of cold water should “dance” if temperature is correct. Do not grease grill! Place lefse on grill & cook until lightly browned on both sides. Shake excess flour off lefse & cool on baking rack. While still warm, spread with butter, sprinkle with sugar, roll & enjoy!
