- Description:
- Delicous Crisp Flatbread, authentic recipe brought to this country from immigrants who settled Minnesota.
- Source:
- S. Chokel
- Ingredients
- 3 pounds of potatoes
- 1 pound rye flour
- Butter
- Sour Cream
- Sugar
- Preparation
- Cook the potatoes, mash them while still warm.
- Knead the potatoes well with 1 pound of rye flour until it becomes a fine paste, and leave until the following day.
- Roll on a floured board as thinly as possible to round cakes as large as a cast iron griddle (or your new fangled electric griddles).
- Bake by turning several times with a pancake turner until well baked. They should be light brown.
- Place on paper to cool. The bread will be crisp at this point. (For softer cakes, do not turn more than two or three times).
- Keep Lefsa in clean kitchen towels, (this means flour sack or cotton toweling, not terry cloth, but you can wrap them in tin foil).
- Make a paste of equal parts of butter and sour cream and spread half on one side of the cake and dust with a little sugar.
- Fold the unbuttered part over again to form a triangle.
- Keep the cakes covered until served.
- They are a finger food for the most part and a good accompaniment for any meal.
- Comments
- At Christmas and even other Holidays like Easter or Birthdays they are always a special treat! A lot of work, but worth every second!
