BUBELAH
First, a lesson in Yiddish: one bubelah, two bubelach. A bubelah is something that is usually eaten for breakfast on Passover. Fluffy, eggy, with a hint of lemon in some families, savory in others, it's quintessential comfort food. With thanks to Avital P of the Israel-foods Yahoo discussion group who helped me find the basic recipe. I've added my own family touches.

MATZO MEAL PANCAKE OR BUBULA
A bubula (bubaleh) is a fluffy and delicious matzo meal pancake. The taste evokes only happy memories of my Grandma with her thick glasses, denture-filled smile. Add some fruit compote on top and you'll be in comfort food heaven!

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.
