Preparation

  1. Soak matzos in lukewarm water for a minute or two, and squeeze very dry. Crumble matzos into a bowl and stir in salt, almonds, raisins, egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, juice and grated zest of the lemon, cinnamon and matzo meal.
  2. Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold into the matzo mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a medium pot over medium heat to about 375 degrees. Carefully place a heaping tablespoon of mixture at a time into oil, turning after about a minute. After a minute, when golden brown on each side, remove and drain. Sprinkle with the additional sugar, and serve with stewed dried plums and apricots.
