How to Make Matzoh Scallion Pancakes

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of thinly sliced scallions and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, 1 1/2 cups matzah meal, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently fold in the cooled scallions.
  4. Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, adding more oil to the skillet as needed, until all the batter is used.
