My mom Eleanor is a master chef. In fact, so much of my cooking skills I learned at her knee. And my mom’s favorite food in the world is bread and butter. Nothing fancy… Just warm crusty bread slathered in butter.

And I know that has got to be sounding pretty good about now after all that damn matzah. So I am sharing her recipe for Pesach Rolls with you.

This is the photo she sent me of them and I have not tested them. But if she says they are good, you had better believe they are incredible.

Hope you enjoy them. I have a batch of dough I am about to pop into the oven. I’ve added chia seeds to mine.

Instructions

Combine the matzo meal, salt and sugar in a bowl.

Add the water and oil to a small pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Remove it from the heat and add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
