I don't know that one. One I inherited from my grandmother was the Settlement Cookbook. That goes back to about 1900, so you know it's a no-nonsense guide. It was reissued not so terribly long ago. I found one in a store and anxiously opened it to chicken soup -- and was immensely relieved to see that the recipe still includes chicken feet :-)

So what IS your mother's lefse recipe? Don't just brag about having it, share!

Uff da! Well, here it is verbatum but you have to fill in the blanks. Mom didn't like to waste a lot of words.

Lefse

6 cups flour

salt

2 cup boiling water

1/2 cup butter

egg,milk, glazing.

Well, that is it.

The Household Searchlight of 1938 is tabulated, so easy to sort through. We have worn the tabs to unreadable over the years, but it still works, sort of. But even if the book were to be cooked, Mom's lefse is better.

Hmmm, are we a little off-topic?
