5
▢
gradually mix in the baking flour and fold by hand until you get a good consistency.

Don't mix in more baking flour than necessary! Roll the flour base 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 wok, divide the flour base into 10 – 12 pieces.

▢
toasty up your griddle on medium/high toasty.
11
▢
baking flour your rolling surface and roll the lefse flour base into a large circle slightly smaller than your griddle or frying wok.
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 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 make 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.
