So one of husband's aunts and her family make Lefsa every year and I was drooling over the pictures on her Facebook page! They have a big day full of family and friends and it makes me jealous.
I went looking for a recipe my aunt had used. I knew it wasn't traditional. I couldn't find hers but I did find one on Pinterest that was similar. Like I said not traditional at all!
I like to get the flour sack towels at Runnings for this. You can usually find them anywhere there is embroidery supplies as well.
Lefse
5 c. Hungry Jack Potato Flakes (must be the flakes, not potato buds)
10 oz. 7Up
1 C. evaporated milk
2-1/2 C. cold water
1/2 C. oil
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 to 2-1/2 C. of flour (consistency of pie crust)
Mix all liquids with sugar & salt. Add potatoes; let stand 15 to 20 minutes. Add flour. Shape 1/4 c. dough into a ball. Roll out on a floured cloth. Griddle on high heat (about 450 degrees). Put lefse between flour sack clothes after removing from griddle.
