Lefse

I have had a few requests for Lefse, which is a Scandinavian potato flatbread. I believe it is typically brushed with melted butter and a little salt, or butter and cinnamon sugar and then rolled up. I think it would be nice with eggcellent eggs or even stew or a savory mushroom dish. You roll the dough gently to about 1/8 inch thick (like a crepe) and dry fry on a skillet (meaning no grease).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups Boiled Potato
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/3 cup Rice milk
  • 1 cup Cook for Love Baking Mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Sugar

Method
 

  1. Peel your russet potato and cut into 6 pieces. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and put through a ricer (or mash well).
  2. Add the butter and rice milk to the riced potato. Set aside to cool.
  3. Meanwhile combine baking mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Add to cooled potato. Mix to combine.
  4. On a well starched area, briefly knead the potato dough. Divide into 6 even pieces (roughly 78 gm each).
  5. On a well starched area, gently roll out each piece into a 5 x 7 rectangle (trimming edge if desired).
  6. Preheat a cast iron pan on high heat. Once it is hot, reduce to medium. Add the dough on to the ungreased pan. Cook for 2 minutes, gently flip with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
  7. Add melted butter and cinnamon sugar if desired and roll up.
