Whole-Grain Matzo Meal Pancakes

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, add water to the matzo meal. Add salt and the egg yolks, which should be well beaten. Lightly mix and let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, beat the eggs whites until they form soft peaks. Fold them gently but thoroughly into the matzo-meal mixture.

3. 3

   Put oil in a frying pan (cast iron works best) and heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Spoon the mixture by tablespoon (approximately) into the frying pan, leaving a lot of room between pancakes. Cook with medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until nicely browned on the underside (not black around the edges). Turn and cook another minute on the other side.

4. 4

   Remove to a paper towel for a couple of seconds before serving. Serve with jam, preserves, a touch of sour cream, whatever you wish that won't overpower these delicate cakes. I can see them served as a savory with a meat but haven't tried that yet.
