Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Best done with two people. I don't know how Mom did it by herself. On the video we have with her making, she didn't add butter. In research of lefsa recipes, I haven't seen one without any sort of fat to hold together better. Sue and I tried the two tablespoons and it worked good and tasted like Moms.
