Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup matzo meal
  • 1 teaspoon sugar white
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter for cooking

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs together with the water.
  • Add matzo meal a little bit at a time to avoid clumping.
  • Add sugar and salt.
  • Scoop ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook for 5 minutes on one side.
  • Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  • Top with your favorite jelly, jam, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Make sure the batter is thin - the batter for this recipe should be much thinner than a traditional pancake batter. You are looking for something around the consistency of egg whites. This is not an exact measurement as you are dealing with matzo meal which doesn't dissolve and will still be somewhat solid. Just do your best.
  • Use enough butter - Passover breakfast is not the time to be super health conscious, butter is your friend when making pancakes. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon per 3 pancakes. You can always adjust from there if you need to.
  • These pancakes are popular and kids can eat a lot of them. You will most likely make several batches of this recipe for a typical Passover breakfast so have ingredients ready to do as my grandfather used to say and "keep 'em comin'"
    Don't double or triple the recipe. Make each batch separately so as to not allow the batter to sit too long before cooking. This can cause the pancake batter to become dense.
