Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Rub the fats between your fingertips and thumbs, or use a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

This is a recipe handed down from my Italian grandmother. Go figure...it's a Jewish Passover dish! Serve warm with cinnamon sugar or syrup, honey, or even powdered sugar. Double recipe to serve a bigger family.

5 matzo sheets
1 cup milk, or more as needed

Pass each matzo sheet under cool running water briefly, then crumble into a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract to form evenly moistened batter. Add more milk if batter is too dry.
