Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Matzo meal
- 1 cup Water
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal, water, sugar, and salt. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the matzo meal to absorb the liquid.
Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in one small bowl and the whites in another. Lightly beat the yolks and add them to the matzo mixture, stirring well to combine.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the matzo mixture, being careful not to deflate them. This will give your pancakes a light and airy texture.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter for cooking. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite Passover-friendly toppings, such as honey, fruit preserves, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
