Passover “Bagels” (Deb and Phil)

Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs sugar
2 1/2 cups matza meal
6 large eggs

Toppings:
Cinnamon sugar
Chopped nuts (eg. Walnuts)

Directions
Put oil, water, salt, and sugar in saucepan and heat to a rolling boil. Lower heat to low and add all the matza meal. Mix until smooth and well blended and remove from heat. Let cool 5 min and add eggs one at a time while mixing (you should get some good exercise doing this!). Each egg should be well mixed in before adding the next.

Coat hands with oil and form batter into balls (should get about 12). Place on well greased baking sheet . If you want a more cream puff shape skip next step. Place well oiled finger into the center of each ball and rotate until bagel shape formed. Add toppings suggested together or individually or add one of your own invention.

Bake at 350˚ F for 50-60 min.

Comments
These are terrific warm and are also nice for use to make sandwiches for lunch during Pesach (if they don’t disappear down someone’s gullet ahead of time!).
