The holiday season is approaching. And for some Midwesterners, it means lefse is on the table. If you’re not familiar with lefse, it’s a soft, Norwegian flatbread, and it’s a cherished staple during holidays and celebrations. But it doesn’t come easy – there’s an art to the generations-old tradition. One that Countryside Lefse in Blair, Wisconsin, knows well. We’re visiting with owner and lefse maker Marshall Olson, whom Stephanie teases has the perfect last name for the line of work he’s in. He introduces us to this Norwegian treat, how it’s made, and some of the challenges of keeping this tradition alive.
