Description:
Delight your mornings with these wholesome Matzoh Meal and Apple Pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch. This recipe combines the crisp sweetness of apples with the comforting texture of matzo meal, creating a delightful treat that’s both healthy and satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup matzo meal
- 1/2 cup water or milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 – 3/4 apple, finely chopped
- Butter or oil for frying
- Cinnamon for sprinkling
- Warmed honey for serving
Instructions:
-
Beat the egg yolks: Start by beating the egg yolks until they’re thick and pale in color, ensuring a creamy texture for the pancake batter.
-
Mix matzo meal with liquid: In a small bowl, combine the matzo meal with either water or milk, depending on your preference or dietary needs. This mixture adds a hearty texture to the pancakes.
-
Combine with yolks: Stir the matzo meal mixture into the beaten egg yolks until well combined, ensuring a smooth batter consistency.
-
Whip egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until they form stiff peaks. This step adds lightness and fluffiness to the pancakes.
-
Fold in egg whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk and matzo meal mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness created by whipping.
-
Add chopped apples: Gently stir in the finely chopped apples, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of fruity flavor in every bite.
-
Heat oil or butter: Heat a skillet with a quarter-inch of oil or butter until it’s hot and shimmering, ready for frying the pancakes to a golden perfection.
-
Fry the pancakes: Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil or butter, flattening lightly with the back of the spoon to shape them into pancakes. Fry until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes on each side, ensuring they’re cooked through and crispy on the outside.
-
Avoid overcrowding: Be mindful not to overcrowd the pan, allowing enough space for each pancake to cook evenly and ensuring a crispy exterior.
-
Drain and sprinkle: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil, then sprinkle them generously with cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.
-
Serve with honey: Serve the Matzoh Meal and Apple Pancakes warm, accompanied by warmed honey on the side for drizzling, allowing each bite to be a deliciously sweet and satisfying experience.
-
Enjoy: Indulge in these delightful pancakes as a wholesome breakfast option or a delightful brunch treat, savoring the comforting combination of apples and matzo meal in every bite.
