BUBELAH



Bubelah image

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



Matzo Meal Pancake or Bubula image

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!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs (separated)
2 tablespoons matzo meal
1 tablespoon seltzer water
pinch of salt
canola oil
sugar
cinnamon

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.
