Tonight we roll somelefse.
Peter came over to help prepare some lefse ahead of schedule, and drink some of my wine. I decided that the first lefse of 2008 was worth drinking some of myChateuaneuf du Pape 2003, and Peter was particularly helpful disposing of a bottle. The first step is to pull the batter from the refrigerator.
Then we mix it up with some flour until it looks like this.
Taking a golf ball sized piece we roll it out until it looks like this
. Note you can vaguely read the print on the pastry cloth through the batter. Once it is this thin we use the lefse stick
to transfer it onto the griddle.
A piece of lefse grills quickly, in about a minute, 30 seconds on each side. Then we transfer it to the pile
here, and put the lefse cozy over the top
. By the end of the night we produced two full batches of lefse, more than enough to get the party started.
