Ate the lefse straight off the griddle with cinnamon sugar or lingonberry preserves. My neighbor is this 74 year old Swedish woman and she taught me how to do it. Took me maybe 12-15 lefses to get it right.

You can use the lefse stick to make crepes off the griddle too right?

Lefse.... very thin crepes with potato in the dough. You cook them on a griddle. Traditionally they are flipped over with a thin, long flat paddle sort of implement. I think Breton buckwheat crepe-makers use a similar tool to flip theirs.
