How to make lefse:

Add 2 cups flour just before rolling out the lefse. Form into balls, keeping them well chilled. Roll out as thin as possible on a floured cloth covered board. Use a rolling pin sleeve. Lift with a lefse stick. Bake on a hot lefse grill until brown spots are visible. Flip over and bake so done on both sides. Cover baked lefse immediately after baking. Wrap in plastic when cool. May be frozen. Makes 50 rounds of lefse.
