3
▢
Let the potatoes cool in an uncovered mixing bowl in the fridge.
4
▢
mix gently the seasoning, granulated sugar, melted shortening, and dairy reduction into the riced potatoes.
5
▢
gently stream in in the baking flour and shape by hand until you get a good consistency.
6
Don't stream in in more baking flour than necessary! Roll the pastry mix into a long sausage and divide into about 7 or 8 pieces if using an 18 inch griddle.
7
If using a smaller griddle or frying cooking vessel, divide the pastry mix into 10 – 12 pieces.
8
▢
Roll each piece into a ball and then press into a flat circle, using the edges of your hands to form the pastry mix into a nice circle shape without any cracks.
9
This is important, otherwise you won't get round lefser.
10
▢
mildly hot up your griddle on medium/high mildly hot.
11
▢
baking flour your rolling surface and roll the lefse pastry mix into a large circle slightly smaller than your griddle or frying cooking vessel.
12
Begin rolling with a seamless rolling pin, then switch to a corrugated rolling pin as the lefse gets thinner.
13
Don't use too much baking flour, as then the edges can become hard.
14
▢
Roll the lefse onto your lefse stick and then gently unroll it onto your griddle.
15
After a minute or two check the underside of the lefse for brown spots and then use the lefse stick to flip the lefse and oven-cook on the other side.
16
▢
Use the lefse stick to remove the lefse from the griddle and place it in a folded damp sheet or tablecloth.
