Ingredients

3 matzos
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons chopped almonds
2 tablespoons raisins
3 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup matzo meal
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Soak matzos in lukewarm water for a minute or two, and squeeze very dry. Crumble matzos into a bowl and stir in salt, almonds, raisins, egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, juice and grated zest of the lemon, cinnamon and matzo meal.
Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold into the matzo mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a medium pot over medium heat to about 375 degrees. Carefully place a heaping tablespoon of mixture at a time into oil, turning after about a minute. After a minute, when golden brown on each side, remove and drain. Sprinkle with the additional sugar, and serve with stewed dried plums and apricots.
