I found that this recipe gets better when made one to two days prior to serving. This year was the first time I made it. I think next time I make it I will try without the addition of lemon. However, it did get rave reviews from everyone. Ingredients:
5 -6 matzos (soak in water for a minute) |
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (i used walnuts) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon lemon rind |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
5 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 cup water |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 1/2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Take the matzah out of the water and cover with paper towels for 15-20 minutes or till soft enough to fold.
2. Combine the first 4 ingredients with 3 tablespoons of the butter.
3. Using an 8 square pan, make layers of matzah and nut mixture ending with a piece of matzah.
4. Drizzle top of matzah with 2 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter.
5. Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
6. When almost cool, cut into squares.
7. FOR THE SYRUP: Combine all ingredients and the remaining butter (2 1/2 tablespoons) and boil for 10 minutes stirring slowly till thickened.
8. When syrup is cool, drizzle over cut squares.
