Lefsa!

Making lefsa is one of our Christmas traditions. My middle daughter ( was really interested in the process this year. She ended up helping me with everything - rolling out the dough, moving it to the griddle, flipping on the griddle, taking it off when done and of course eating it!

Here we are all set to start:


I couldn't find the 'sock' for the rolling pin so had to improvise this year.

Here are the 2 'logs' of dough ready to divide up:



Here they are all rolled into the 24 'balls' for a single batch:



One on the griddle and another ready to roll out:



Ready to come off:



Whole pile (2 batches) all finished:



It is always really good but when I am done I remember (again) why we only do it once a year! I think there was 1/8" of flour over the entire kitchen by the time I was done...

Anyone else have any holiday traditions in your family?
