THE ORIGIN OF LEFSE

The mid-nineteenth century brought a wave of European immigrants to the United States. This brought Norwegian pastries to the Midwest, which included lefse (Norwegian bread).

Potatoes were a basic food in Norway. Having no way to keep leftover potatoes, they used them for making lefse. Lefse could be kept for two or three weeks in a tight container in a dry place.

OLD FASHIONED LEFSE

This is the way lefse should be–just like it came from grandma’s kitchen. Or it can be a new taste treat. Grandma's eyes would really light up if she could see what people do with lefse now–adding jams, jellies, meat, cheese and spreads–instead of just traditional butter and sugar, although that’s still the favorite way to serve it. We offer the traditional recipe, with no preservatives and no additives.
