NORWEGIAN LEFSE RECIPE | BON APPÉTIT



Norwegian Lefse Recipe | Bon Appétit image

Lefse is a Norwegian dish; it's like a potato-y flatbread and great topped with cured fish.

Provided by Anders Braathen

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into ½-inch pieces
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and bake directly on the rack until yielding when pressed, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into a large bowl; discard skins (or nibble on them with butter and salt—we won’t judge). Mash potato with a fork until only a few lumps remain. Let cool.
  • Mix in cream, butter, salt, and 1¼ cups flour with a fork until a shaggy ball forms. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead, working in more flour a tablespoonful at a time, until dough is smooth, elastic, and soft, about 3 minutes. Cover loosely and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 portions.
  • Heat a dry griddle or large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Working with 1 portion at a time and keeping others covered, roll out dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible to make an irregular 8”-diameter round (perfection is overrated). Cook until dough looks dry and is browned in spots, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer lefse to a wire rack; let cool.
  • Do Ahead: Lefse can be made 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

LEFSE- NORWEGIAN FLAT BREAD RECIPE - CHRISTMAS.FOOD.COM
This is the best Lefse you will ever taste! I have such wonderful memories of learning how to make lefse at my Aunt Gwen's. She makes this with authentic, hand made Norwegian rolling pins and lefse sticks made by her father and handed down to her by her mother. Do not fear though! Lefse can be made with regular kitchen equipment like a rolling pin and thin spatula. Traditionally this is served warm with butter or for a treat with cinnamon, sugar or jam. My family always enjoys their lefse with Lutefisk on Christmas Eve. I hate Lutefisk but LOVE lefse! Here is a great site with step by step pictures and instructions http://www.britta.com/smorgabritta/lefse/index.html. OR BETTER YET here is a video I found on the web that will explain the process much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTmUuSoZShY *NOTE:* If making more than one batch make sure to keep them separate. ONLY MIX ONE BATCH AT A TIME as mixture will become too sticky to work with. Time does not include cooling and resting time.
