Ingredients
-
3 cups potato flakes
1/4 cup btter or margarine
3/4 (approx) cup water
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
Cinnamon/sugar mix
butter for spreading
Tips
I've found you don't have to chill overnight, an hour or two is fine when you use the flakes. We put the rolled dough onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper, then cover it with wax paper and saran wrap over that.
Directions
Place 1/4 cup butter in a 1 cup measuring cup and add water to make a 1 cup measure. Transfer to sauce pan and bring to boil.
Add this to Potato flakes and mix well with fork.
Add milk and mix well. Refrigerate covered with wax paper until mix is completely chilled. (Do not let surface dry.)
When dough is chilled, work in flour with your hands. Form into balls, a little larger than golf ball size, and place in container lined with a towel. Refrigerate overnight.
Roll out very thin and bake on grill preheated to 450 to 500 degrees.
When warm spread with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix. Fold over like a roll up buttering the edges as you go then let cool. Slice in half when cool and enjoy.
Makes approx 16 large lefse, I cut these in half and consider that a serving. Recipe may be multiplied.
