Lefse Day at Grandma’s

A few weeks before Thanksgiving, Katelyn and I (Eliza) went to our Grandma’s house for our yearly tradition of making lefse. We had a wonderful time mixing, rolling, and frying, but we were worn out at the end of the day! Here are a few of the steps to make this tasty Scandinavian treat.
First, we mixed our ingredients together and rolled the dough into a log, which we cut into 10 sections.
Next, we rolled a dough section from the log into a large, thin circle.

Using a wooden lefse stick, we then carefully placed the lefse onto the lefse grill.


Watch the air bubbles rise, pop any big ones, and make sure the lefse doesn’t burn!


Put the lefse in between towels to keep it moist until it cools, and you’re finished…until you start many, many more!


In addition to the lefse, we made flatbread, another Scandinavian treat.

After all our hard work, we sat down to enjoy a game together.


What a delightful day!
