Passover Chremslach with Mixed Fruit Compote

Ingredients

• 1 cup matzo cake meal
• 1/4 cup dried currants
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large egg yolks
• 3 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Cooking spray
• Mixed Fruit Compote

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Place chremslach on a baking sheet; bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Serve with Mixed Fruit Compote.
