Ingredients
- 2 cups matzo meal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons, softened unsalted butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups matzo meal, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup warm water until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough forms a thick batter.
