Passover Bubalah Recipes

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.

BUBALEH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the matzo meal, egg, sugar and baking powder until a yellow batter forms. Make sure the ingredients are well mixed.
• Lightly grease a nonstick skillet; I recommend a medium or large skillet because the bubaleh will be easier to turn. Heat over medium till a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Pour the batter onto the hot skillet, forming a large circular pancake.Let the bubeleh cook for about 2 minutes till bubbles rise and pop on the surface of the batter and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the bubaleh and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so, till the bubaleh is cooked through and golden on both sides.
• Serve with your choice of toppings-- maple syrup, KFP powdered sugar, butter, sour cream, or jam. Dairy toppings will make the dish dairy instead of parve.

PASSOVER BREAD

Steps:

• Heat together boiling water and oil on the stove until the mixture is boiling. Add matzoh meal, sugar and salt and turn off the heat. Mix together until a ball is formed. Let cool for a few minutes then add the eggs, one at a time, and stir until combined. Very important to add the eggs one at a time! Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. To form the bread, wet your hands with water and roll some of the dough in your hands and shape however you want. Place the dough on parchment paper and continue forming your bagels. You can shape the dough however you want and as big or small as you want. Just keep rewetting your hands or the dough will stick. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes - 1 hour. Eat hot right out of the oven or wait until cooled. Place in an airtight container for as long as the bagels last on the counter or freeze for later.
