| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large frying pan half filled with water, over high heat, boil leeks until just tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. |
| 2. | Drain the boiled leeks under cold running water to halt the cooking process. |
| 3. | Finely chop the leeks on a chopping board. |
| 4. | Squeeze the chopped leeks in a clean tea towel to remove any excess liquid. |
| 5. | Transfer the squeezed leeks to a large mixing bowl. |
| 6. | Stir in the beaten eggs, matzo meal, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and ground cinnamon until well combined, ensuring the batter is of a soft consistency that can be easily dropped. Adjust the texture by adding a little more matzo meal or water if necessary. |
| 7. | In a large deep frying pan, heat enough canola oil to cover the fritters. |
| 8. | Drop tablespoons of the leek batter into the hot oil, frying until the underside is golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. |
| 9. | Carefully flip the fritters and continue frying until the other side is evenly browned, for about 1 minute longer. |
| 10. | Once cooked to a crispy perfection, remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. |
