What is "lefse"?
Lefse is a traditional Norwegian flatbread that is commonly eaten during the Christmas season and other special occasions. It is made from a simple dough of potatoes, flour, butter, and cream, which is rolled out into thin, round sheets. The sheets are then cooked on a griddle until they are lightly golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Lefse can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of sweet or savory toppings, such as butter, sugar, cinnamon, and lingonberry jam. It has a soft and slightly chewy texture and a neutral taste that complements a wide range of flavors. Lefse is not only a delicious treat but also a symbol of Norwegian heritage and culture, and it is often made and enjoyed in family gatherings and holiday celebrations.
