Lefse (state Fair Winning)

How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose and was now glad to reject! You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, You who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, You who outshine all light yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, You who surpass all honor though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. At last my mind was free from the gnawing anxieties of ambition and gain, from wallowing in filth and scratching the itching sore of lust. I began to talk to you freely, O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.

the "sugar" in the recipe is what makes it successful. I  seems to be
the one ingredient that isn't found in a hundred other  similar lefse
recipes. It rolls like a dream... As you know it isn't  easy to roll up
"mashed potatoes" without having them fall apart!  I taught Lefse
Making for years, but my very favorite of all was this  one: [Bev]
