My family has been making lefse for generations. Here is the recipe as given to me by my grandmother, verbatim:

Thanks to my sister Serri (http://serrigraslie.com/) for performing commendable camera work on this video, for my mother for providing necessary assistance behind-the-scenes, and for the rest of my dorky Norwegian family for insisting we make lefse every year to keep traditions alive.

Happy Holidays!
