Tender Wonderful Lefse
Submitted by Joyce of Norske Country
(somewhere near La Crosse & Westby, Wisconsin)

Ingredients:
6 cups Hungry Jack instant potatoes (one 15.3 oz box)

2 cups Carnation powdered milk

2 Tablespoons sugar

6 cups water

2 sticks of "Bluebonnet" regular margarine

3 cups flour

Equipment needed:
You can order all these great items by following this link: The House of Jacobs (it is much easier with the right equipment)

Lefse griddle

Lefse stick (for flipping the lefse rounds)

Grooved rolling pin and rolling pin covers

24" pastry board and pastry board cover (this really helps)

Instructions:

In a large bowl - mix - the following ingredients:
6 cups " HUNGRY JACK " instant potatoes ( 1 - 15.3oz box )
2 cups Carnation powdered milk,
2 Tbs sugar
3 tsp salt

In a kettle heat 6 cups water and 2 sticks " BLUE BONNET MARGARINE " and pour over the dry mixture. Mix well - until potatoes are all dissolved.

Cover bowl and refrigerate over night - or at least 6 hours.

Then mix in ( with pastry cutter or hands) 3 cups flour.

Divide into portions about the size of a ' small ' tennis ball ' or a lemon.

Roll out on floured cloth with rolling pin with cloth sleeve on until thin.

I bake mine on a 21 " family size electric griddle - two at a time - until light brown spots appear, turning to brown both sides.
The griddle should be set at 375 degrees.

I store - or freeze - 4 folded up - in a quart freezer bag !

Note: Recipe makes about 30 sheets of lefse !

It is VERY IMPORTANT to use Hungry Jack Potatoes and Blue Bonnet Regular Margarine !
