GALS

ggs. Fruit. Coffee. Purchased cereal. These
are typical breakfast foods that are perfect
for Passover. Still, sometimes we want more.
Something warm to eat with a spoon instead of oatmeal.
Pancakes. French toast. Granola. Muffins. Bread.
No problem. On the menu this week is breakfast,
Passover-style. The following Pesadik breakfasts —
including my favorites, matzah brei and pancakes — are
here to begin the day, and save the day.
So, less chat, more cooking. Good morning!

FLUFFY MATZAH-MEAL
PANCAKES WITH FRESH
STRAWBERRY COMPOTE
Feel free to add toasted chopped
nuts, blueberries or even a bit of cha-
roset to this recipe, which produces a
fluffier, less-filling pancake.
Compote:
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
'/3 cup sugar
Pancakes:
3 large eggs, separated
'/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
'/2 cup milk, water or orange juice
% cup matzah meal
vegetable oil for frying
Prepare the compote: Combine the
strawberries with sugar in a medium
bowl, and toss well with your hands
to coat. Allow to stand at room
temperature for 1 hour or more. Set
aside.
Make the pancakes: Place egg yolks
in a medium bowl, and whisk well.
Add salt, sugar and milk or juice, and
whisk well. Use a spoon to stir in the
matzah meal. Let the batter sit for 20
minutes before beginning the next
step.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, but
not dry, and use a rubber spatula to
fold into the matzah mixture.
Heat about 1 /4 cup of oil (or less
if your skillet is small or very good
nonstick) in a large nonstick skillet
over medium-high heat until very
hot. Make a "test" pancake by drop-
ping a tablespoonful of the mixture
