1 level teasp salt
5 fl oz (150 ml / cup) warm water
3 oz (75 g / ¾ cup) fine matzo meal
1 level tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
For the cinnamon sugar
1 teasp ground cinnamon
2 oz (50 g/¼ cup) caster (superfine) sugar
Recipe
Beat the eggs, salt and 2 tablespoons of the water until thick.
Gradually add the meal and the sugar and enough additional water to make a thick batter that just drops from the spoon.
Fry in oil ¼ inch (0.5 cm) deep or a mixture of 2 oz (50 g/¼ cup) butter and 1 tablespoon oil until golden brown and puffy.
Turn and cook the other side.
Serve hot off the pan, plain or with the mixed cinnamon and sugar.
