Plain ROLLS
Makes 20

Method

  • Preheat oven to 160°C and line an oven tray.
  • Melt the butter with the water in a large pan. Add the salt and sugar.
  • When it boils add the matzah meal and mix to a smooth dough.
  • Turn off the heat. Gradually add the eggs to the dough — mix well between additions.
  • Add enough egg so the dough is soft enough to work easily with your hands but not too runny. Form into rolls.
  • Place on the prepared tray and cook 15 minutes until golden.
