I am wondering if Saraphine is my cousin? Because that sounds just like my story!
Our grandma was a 5th-generation immigrant from Norway who settled in WA, she brought this family recipe with her. Interestingly, we ate it the same way as you do: Rolled up with butter and sugar! According to Wikipedia, this is a variation called tynnlefse, or "thin lefse", and rolling it up with butter and sugar is called "lefse-klining".
The lefse griddle I purchased also came with a similar recipe, but it called for 4 cups of flour! I believe I ended up splitting the difference and using about 3 cups: When it had the consistency of Play-Dough, that was the time to stop adding flour.
It does want to stick to EVERYTHING: I found that to get it really thin like Grandma's, you have to spread flour over it GENEROUSLY, both on your work surface and on the top which contacts your rolling pin. Which is fine, because I remember the lightly floury texture the lefse always had.
Thank you so much. The picture looked JUST like my grandma used to make! I'm afraid I cried into my lefse, it brought back so many wonderful family memories!
