Instructions

  1. 1 Mix together boiling water, potato flakes, evaporated milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
  2. 2 After dough is thoroughly chilled, add 3 cups flour, using a pastry blender to cut in.
  3. 3 Divide dough into 3 equal size portions. Form into 3 logs. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
  4. 4 Heat an electric griddle to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 5 Divide logs into 8 pieces of dough. Roll each piece to about the size of a 10-inch tortilla. Work additional remaining flour into rounds as needed. Use care to press lightly with the rolling pin when forming into rounds as they are much more tender than pie dough. The weight of a large rolling pin is nearly enough.
  6. 6 Bake on the griddle until golden brown and each round feels dry but not crisp, about 1 minute. Flip and turn lefse frequently.
  7. 7 Cool on a cloth. Cover with an additional cloth. Stack pieces on top of each other as they are baked. The steam will create a more tender product.
