Chremslach is a pancake made with matzo meal instead of flour. The pancakes are usually deep-fried, resembling fritters, but these are briefly pan-fried then baked.

Ingredients

1 c. matzo cake meal
1/4 c. dried currants
1/4 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
.13 tsp. salt
1 c. water
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 c. sugar
Cooking spray
Mixed fruit Compote

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spoon matzo cake meal into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine the matzo cake meal and next 5 ingredients (matzo cake meal through salt) in a large bowl; stir well. Add water, juice, vanilla, and egg yolks; stir with a fork until blended.
Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth egg white mixture into matzo mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Cover and chill 15 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Drop dough by tablespoons into pan; cook 1 minute per side or until lightly browned.
Place chremslach on a baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Serve with Mixed Fruit Compote.
