How to Make Bubelah

  1. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in the 3 egg yolks, 1/2 cup matzo meal, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest (if using). Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Once melted, carefully drop large spoonfuls of the batter into the hot pan, leaving space between each bubelah.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip gently with a spatula.
  6. Remove from the pan and dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bubelah!
