"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Personal Notes:
This dough may be chilled, but it is not necessary. Use floured board or lefse board and floured rolling pin to make it easier to roll. This recipe was used in my cooking classes at Abbotsford High School between 1978-1998 for special holidays like Christmas, Valentine's Day and other special occasions.
