Steps
In a large bowl, stir together the hot riced potatoes, 4 teaspoons of gfJules Flour, butter, cream or milk, salt, and sugar, mixing gently just until well combined. The hot potatoes will melt the butter, so stir until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Refrigerate the mixture for 3 hours, or overnight. This will make the lefse easier to roll out.
Gently but thoroughly fold in the remaining 1/3 cup of gfJules Flour. If the mixture is crumbly and not holding together, stir in more cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together well but isn't wet and sticky.
Preheat a lefse griddle or a large non-stick skillet to 375°F, or preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces about the size of golf balls and cover them with a clean kitchen towel or oiled plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
Working with one ball of dough at a time, flatten and gently roll each into a 4" circle on a well-floured work surface (use gfJules Flour). Use a few quick, gentle strokes with a floured rolling pin to roll it each circle to about 1/8- 1/16" thick. The lefse will be fragile, so proceed with care.
Using a large, flat spatula, carefully flip the lefse onto the griddle or into the skillet. Cook on one side until speckled with brown spots; this should take about a minute. Flip the lefse over, and cook the other side until it's flecked with brown, about 1 minute. Transfer the cooked lefse to a parchment-lined baking sheet or large plate.
Repeat with the remaining dough. Place pieces of parchment paper between each lefse as you stack them on the plate to prevent them from sticking. Cover the lefse with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Serve lefse warm or at room temperature, spread with softened butter and rolled into a cylinder or folded into quarters. Add sugar, jam, or cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat.
Store lefse flat, wrapped in plastic, for several days at room temperature; freeze for longer storage.

Charlotte on 2025-11-22 (5 stars): First attempt at GF lefse...thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is delicious! The dough is easy to work with. I used my rolling pin to roll the lefse onto the griddle, and it worked great! Thanks!
