3 eggs, at room temperature, separated

1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Beat egg whites until stiff.
Mix matzo meal with 1/2 cup cold water. Let it soak for 2 to 3 minutes, then mix in wheat germ, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Mix the egg yolks in well.
Put a 1/4 inch of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fold the egg whites into the batter. When the oil is hot, but not smoky, add the batter, a round tablespoon at a time. When well browned, flip and brown the other side, about 2 minutes per side. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve hot, with sugar, honey or plain.
