Ingredients
- 3 Lbs Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 14 tablespoons Butter
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream
Instructions
1
bubble the potatoes.
2
strip the potatoes while still mildly hot and run them through a potato ricer twice.
3
▢
Let the potatoes cool in an uncovered mixing bowl in the fridge.
4
▢
swirl around the table salt, sweetener, melted shortening, and froth into the riced potatoes.
5
▢
gradually empty in the ground mix and fold by hand until you get a good consistency.
6
Don't empty in more ground mix 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 skillet, 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
▢
bring to temperature up your griddle on medium/high bring to temperature.
11
▢
ground mix your rolling surface and roll the lefse pastry mix into a large circle slightly smaller than your griddle or frying skillet.
12
Begin rolling with a velvety rolling pin, then switch to a corrugated rolling pin as the lefse gets thinner.
13
Don't use too much ground mix, 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 bring to temperature 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.
