Instructions

  1. 1 Place plums in a large stockpot; add enough water to cover bottom of the pot. Cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until plums are broken down, about 2 hours. Cool at room temperature for 2 hours.
  2. 2 Return stockpot to the stovetop over low heat; gently cook plums for 2 to 3 hours more. Cool at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Return stockpot to the stovetop over low heat; gently cook plums for 2 to 3 hours more. Cool at room temperature, 2 hours.
  4. 4 Bring plums to a boil; add sugar. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, inspect 4 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until plum butter is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  6. 6 Pack plum butter into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  7. 7 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Remove jars from the stockpot; rest, several inches apart, until cooled. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place the unpeeled potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil. When potatoes are almost soft, drain water and allow potatoes to cool. Make sure the potatoes do not get too soft, or they will be too wet and the lefse will be hard. Peel and mash the potatoes. Measure out 4 cups; set aside and allow to cool.
  2. 2 Preheat your cast iron or electric skillet to a medium setting. Stir the butter and sugar into 4 cups mashed potatoes. Add about one cup of flour and mix it into the potatoes. The amount of flour needs to be varied a little according to how moist the mashed potatoes are, the less flour you use the better, but you don't want the mixture to be sticky.
  3. 3 Flour your pastry board and rolling pin. Make a ball of lefse dough about the size of a small apple and roll it out into a very thin circle. It should be as thin as a crepe, and will tear easily unless you are very careful.
  4. 4 Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the lefse on both sides on your skillet, from 1 to 3 minutes per side. Roll up and serve with the filling of your choice.

  2. 2 Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the egg mixture just until smooth and most of the lumps are gone.
  3. 3 With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
  4. 4 Brush melted butter into the round depressions of a cast-iron ebelskiver pan. Place the pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is very hot and smells slightly nutty, pour batter into each depression, filling the round shapes about half to three-quarters full. Allow the ebelskiver to cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. The inside batter will still be runny.
  5. 5 Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, gently push each ebelskiver at an edge to loosen from the pan. Insert the toothpick lightly into a top edge from the inside, and gently lift and rotate the pancake to turn it over. Turn them so the round bottoms are facing upward and the liquid batter in the center of a pancake runs into the bottom of the round depression. Cook until the other side of each pancake is browned, about 1 more minute.
  6. 6 Remove the finished pancakes from the pan with the toothpick, transfer to a platter, and serve warm.
