Ingredients

1/2 box egg matzo (Some people use regular matzo, but it is not as good)

1 qt. apple juice or sweet cider

6 to 10 eggs

sweet butter

apple sauce or maple syrup

Directions

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.
