BUBELAH

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Slowly fold in the yolks, matzo meal and lemon zest.
• Melt the butter in a heavy based frying pan.
• CAREFULLY drop large spoonfuls of fluffy batter into the pan.
• Fry on one side until done, then gently (GENTLY) flip over and continue cooking on the other side.
• Sprinkle with sugar and enjoy.

MATZO MEAL PANCAKE OR BUBULA

Steps:

• Separate 2 eggs. Put the whites in a medium bowl, big enough for whipping them. Place the yellows in a similar size bowl.
• To the yolks, add 2 tablespoons of matzo meal, one tablespoon of sparkling water (seltzer), and a pinch of salt. Combine, using a small whisk or fork.
• Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and then fold the egg whites into the yellow mixture.
• Heat a small skillet on medium to medium-high. Once heated, add one tablespoon of oil, then add the matzo meal mixture.
• Cook until you see it sizzle around the edges and firm up. Then, depending on your skill in the kitchen, you can either flip the pancake like a pro or grab a spatula to turn it over. (Dormant chef flipped, I used a spatula) It should be nicely browned.
• It only needs to cook briefly on the flip side to brown and finish firming up the interior.
• Flip the bubula onto a plate, sprinkle with granulated sugar. A little cinnamon is nice too. Powdered sugar would be attractive but I have always loved the texture of the granulated sugar with the matzo meal pancake.
