Family Favorites

No, butter is not a family favorite food, but it is a key ingredient in a couple of Wigen family holiday favorites... butterscotch candy and lefse.
Marvin's makes butterscotch using his mother's hand-written and butter-smeared recipe card... this special treat is in hot demand by both friends and family during the holidays.
Lefse is a traditional Norwegian flatbread... the Wigen family makes flour lefse (as opposed to potato lefse) spread with a butter and sugar mixture, then folded and cut into easily hand-held pieces.
Stay tuned because I plan to post photos of these two items later in the month... :)

Oh yum! My mouth is watering. You must accompany the recipes with the photos.

[Marilyn Wigen]

@mstipe That can probably be arranged... :)

[Deb]

Everything tastes better with butter!

[Netkonnexion]

Love! Slurp, great.

[Rick Schies]

Oh I would have to agree, butter just makes so many recipes better

Awesome processing lends itself to the fact that it is old family recipes you are using! Fav for that and the matching frame!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Mmmm .... can't wait to see them. :-)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@deburahiru For sure! :)

@netkonnexion Thanks... :)

@digitalrn I NEVER use margarine... yuck!

@grammyn Thank you so much... you are so kind.. especially for the fav!

@dmortega Mmmm... I can't wait to taste! Though I do have to admit that lefse is not one of my favorites except the very first day it's made.

[Leana Niemand]

This is a great shot and I really like the processing!!

[Steve Hankins]

I love the shot and with that much butter, it has to be good :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@leananiemand Thank you so much... I tried to make it look old to reflect that these were old family recipes... :)

@hankinsphoto Thanks so much, Steve... I agree, the more butter the better! :)

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh this sounds so yummy! No skimping on the quality ingredients

[Marilyn Wigen]

@myhrhelper Skimping just doesn't cut it for some things... :)
