Description

These Matzo Cheese Latkes offer a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, combining the crunch of matzo meal with the creamy richness of pot cheese. The addition of cinnamon and sugar creates a warm, aromatic flavor profile that balances savory and sweet notes beautifully. Light and airy thanks to folded-in egg whites, they are tender inside with a golden-brown crisp exterior. Ideal for Shavuot or any leisurely weekend morning, these latkes are simple to prepare using pantry staples. Serve them warm with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite fruit jam for a comforting and satisfying meal that feels both rustic and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are light in color and frothy.
  2. Stir in the well-drained pot cheese, matzo meal, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
  4. Taste the mixture and add salt if needed to enhance the flavor.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cheese and matzo mixture to keep it light.
  7. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot pan, flattening them slightly.
  9. Fry the latkes until the bottom side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Flip the latkes and cook the other side until golden brown.
  11. Add more butter to the pan as needed for each batch.
  12. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
  13. Serve immediately with sour cream, syrup, or jam.
