Norwegian tradition

Sunday night Mike and I made lefsa for the first time. Lefsa is a norwegian bread/tortilla. The only ingredients are flour, cream, salt and lard. It is delicious and a long standing Lee family tradition. My Dad is 100% norwegian; his parents made lefsa and my parents often woke us kids up during different holidays with the smell of lefsa frying downstairs. And, of course, it is the best when it is hot off the griddle and the butter melts on it.

Sometimes it can be a little bit difficult to roll it out, but I would say it went very well for a first time last night doing it on my own. I have really only done it with my Mom in the past. It was a hit with Faustina and I am sure we'll continue enjoying making it in the future.
