-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups unbleached white flour

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal

1/3 cup steel-cut oatmeal

2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 cup firmly packed granulated sugar -- (1/4 to 1/3)

when it is baked. Bake for about 35 minutes in preheated oven, or until browned

and cooked through.

Masa Tiganitas

 

Recipe By : " The Sephardic Kitchen " by Rabbi Robert Sternberg

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers Desserts

Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 whole matzot

Whole milk to soak matzot (about 4 cups)

4 large eggs

1/4 cup yogurt

Sunflower oil for sauteing

Honey

Finely chopped walnuts

 

Place the whole matzot into a wide, deep mixing bowl or a square baking pan that

can accommodate them all without breaking them. Pour the milk over them to

cover. Soak the matzot in the milk until they soften enough so that they can be

cut but are not so soft that they will disintegrate (about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).

 

While the matzot are soaking, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl together with the

1/4 cup yogurt.

 

When the matzot are soft enough, gently remove them, one at a time, and lay them

on paper towels. Cut each matzoh into four quarters. Stack the squares on top of

one another on paper towels or on a plate.

 

Pour enough oil into a 12-inch skillet to come up the sides 1/4 inch. Heat the

oil over medium-high heat until it is sizzling but not smoking.

 

Dip one square of matzoh from each stack into the beaten egg. Allow the excess

to drip back into the mixing bowl. Place the square in the skillet. A 12-inch

skillet will hold two or three squares while they are frying.

 

Fry the squares until golden brown on both sides. Keep the squares warm in a

250-degree F oven until all are ready. Apportion the squares onto serving

plates. Serve with honey poured over the squares and sprinkle with chopped

walnuts.

 

Serving suggestions: Serve with thick yogurt, fresh fruit and coffee.
