Gefrishte Matza Fried Matzo Recipe

How to make it

---

• Break up matzo sheets into pieces the size of a quarter or half-dollar
• place them into an 8-by 8 inch baking pan
• Heat the apple juice or cider to boiling and pour it over the matzo, Allow the matzo to soften well, about twenty minutes
• Break eggs into a large bowl and stir well, until fully mixed. They should be a uniform color
• Drain the excess liquid from the matzo. If there is much liquid runoff, re-heat the liquid and re-soak the matzo, until nearly all the liquid is absorbed
• In a ten- or twelve-inch iron skillet, melt 1/3 to 1/2 cup sweet butter, until it just begins to smoke
• Add the matzo-egg mixture, 1 cup at a time, until the bottom of the pan is covered to a depth of 1 inch
• Reduce heat to about 1/2 full, or as hot as you would for a regular omelet
• Cook until the mixture begins to be firm enough to turn over, but not too hard. It should resemble a giant pan-cake
• Flip the cake over in the pan, adding more butter , if necessary
• Fry until firm, but not hard
• When done, remove from pan, and serve
• Drizzle with maple syrup and/or apple sauce
• Eat! Enjoy! Look how you look! You're skinny as a rail. Take another piece, you eat like a bird. Don't get fresh to your mother.
