Askoy Lefse

Ingredients

1 egg
1 1/2 dl (2/3 cup) sugar
1 1/2 dl (2/3 cup) melted butter
1 1/2 dl (2/3 cup) buttermilk
1 1/2 dl (2/3 cup) potato starch
about 3 1/2 dl (1 1/2 cups) flour
1/2-3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2-3/4 tsp. horn salt (or 1 1/2-2 Tbs. baking powder)

Instructions

1) Lightly beat the egg, add sugar, melted butter and milk. Sift the dry ingredients and add. The dough should be so loose that it is almost a thick batter.

2) Refrigerate 30 minutes to stiffen.

3) The size of the lefse depends upon whether it will be cooked in a pan or on a griddle.

4) Roll out on a floured board. Brush off extra flour before cooking.

5) Cook on both sides over low heat until golden with brown flecks.

6) Cool before placing in a towel.

7) Spread cold lefse with butter and sugar or butter and cheese. Fold into a rectangle.
