Lefse is a Norwegian dessert made by hand. It is made of mostly potatoes, flour and butter mixed together. Once you have made the dough you let it chill in the fridge overnight. Once ready you make tiny balls with the dough, next you get your special Lefse roller it is a textured rolling pin for Lefse. After you roll it out you take your Lefse turning stick and flip it on the very hot pan. A Lefse turner stick is basically how it sounds but it looks like a thin long stick that you would be able to put under the Lefse to flip on to the pan.  I always remember watching my grandma making Lefse while I watched as the Lefse sizzled on the hot pan. My grandma and grandpa would always tell me "Don't touch the hot pan!” “When you're older you can flip left with me”.  So this Christmas was the very first time I got to use the Lefse turner stick which was very fun but difficult. You always have to make sure you get under the dough perfectly and take it off the pan at the perfect time otherwise it will burn. On Christmas day I always walk into my grandparents house  and smell the delicious smell of Lefse and cinnamon and sugar. When I take a bite it just melts in my mouth and I hear the crystals from the sugar crunch in my mouth and get the sweet taste of cinnamon “i could eat 1 million of these i say to myself”.
