    Makes 2 servings (But just barely)

Ingredients

2 sheets of matzo
2 large eggs
Salt
Pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

  1. Break 2 sheets of matzo into ½" pieces; place in a medium bowl. Cover with very hot tap water. Let stand for about 30 seconds, then drain. Beat 2 large eggs in another medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add drained matzo; mix until combined and a wet batter forms. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon scant ¼-cupfuls of batter into skillet, making 4 pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Serve with jam, syrup, or whatever the hell you'd like. These rock.
