Whole Wheat Matzo Latkes image

Whole grains add flavor to pancakes, and they do the trick with latkes too. Beaten egg whites make these light as clouds, as long as you eat them right out of the pan. A sprinkle of sugar adds a crunchy contrast for breakfast, or leave out the sugar from this recipe and serve them as a side dish for roast chicken or brisket.

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs, at room temperature, separated
1/2 cup whole wheat matzo meal (or 1 1/2 whole wheat matzos pulverized in a food processor
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Neutral oil for frying

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.
