Step #3 In a second bowl, beat eggs, salt & pepper well.
Step #4 Add sugar, lemon juice & zest, cinnamon, until mixed very well.
Step #5 Grease the bottom & sides of a 13" X 9" pan heavily with Crisco.

Step #17 If you chose to make a larger recipe, ALWAYS use the same number of eggs as Matzo, to keep the right consistency.
