Lefse is Norwegian flatbread made from riced potatoes, butter and cream, rolled paper-thin and cooked on a hot griddle until it is blistered with soft brown spots. Tender, pliable and faintly sweet, it is the softest bread on the Scandinavian table.
It is a celebration staple, especially around the holidays, served simply with butter, sugar and cinnamon, or wrapped around savory fillings. Rolling lefse is a craft passed down through generations, often a communal kitchen affair.
