Butter lefsa, roll up and eat.
My grand kids put sugar or jam on the lefsa, roll it up and eat.
These were made for melted butter and Ludafish for the holidays.
I boil up 5 lbs of potatoes & rice with my canning siva which is a cone shaped aluminum siva with wooden cone shaped press I run around the inside of the siva to press out potatoes.
