Sally's Norwegian Lefse

My mom was from Norway and she always made lefse every Christmas. This is her recipe for this tasty dessert.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 12-15 lefses

Ingredients

• 4  cups  hot potatoes, mashed
• 1⁄4 cup  melted butter
• 1⁄2 cup  light cream
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2 1⁄2 cups white flour

Directions

1. Mix the first 4 ingredients together.
2. Then add the flour, mixing thoroughly and adding a little extra flour if the dough seems too moist.
3. If using a pancake griddle, divide dough into egg-sized balls(if using a large lefse grill, larger balls will be needed.).
4. Chill the dough-balls for 30 minutes.
5. Roll out each ball on a pastry cloth until very thin.
6. Bake on a griddle or a lefse grill set at 400 - 500 degrees, until small brown spots appear on the surface. Then, turn and bake the other side until spots appear.
7. Cover with a towel or waxed paper after baking, to keep soft.
8. Serve buttered, and sprinkled with brown or granulated sugar.
