MATZO MEAL LATKES
These are my mother's light-as-a-feather latkes. Beating the egg whites separately is the secret.

  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbs. sugar
  • 3/4 C cold water
  • 3 eggs
 Mix matzo meal, salt, and sugar. Separate eggs and set whites aside. Beat yolks, combine with water, then combine with dry ingredients. Let stand 1/2 hr. Beat egg whites till stiff, then fold in. Fry till golden brown.

MY MAMA'S LUKSHEN KUGEL
This is my mother's recipe for the *best* kugel I've ever had. Yes, it's got chicken fat in it, which is bad for you. I use onion-flavored Nyfat instead - chemicals instead of fat. It's a toss-up.

  • 12 oz. noodles, cooked & drained
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/4 C chicken fat or Nyfat
  • 3 eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything together. Put in buttered casserole and dot with butter on the top. Bake until browned and crispy on top, about 30-45 minutes. Try not to eat all the crispy noodles off the top first!
