Ingredients:

  • 1 cup matzo meal
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup grated onion (optional)

Directions:

  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine matzo meal, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  2. 2. Separate egg whites and yolks. Beat egg yolks, and combine with water. Add the yolk mixture to the matzo meal mixture, and let it stand for 30 minutes.
  3. 3. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until they are stiff, and fold them into the matzo meal mixture. Add grated onion.
  4. 4. Heat corn oil until it sizzles in a deep skillet. Lower heat, and, using a cooking spoon, spoon batter into the pan, creating thin pancakes 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Fry for several minutes, turning when the pancake is firm and the bottom side is golden brown. Fry for another few minutes until the other side is done. Drain on paper towel. Serve with applesauce and/or sour cream.
