Chremslach Are Your New Favorite Jewish Pancakes | The Nosher

Step 1

Whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl or pot and then add your yogurt, milk, honey, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Whisk after adding each ingredient until completely blended.

Step 2

Slowly add in your matzah meal while stirring.

Step 3

Once everything is mixed together, set your pot or bowl to the side for about 15 minutes to rest.

Step 4

Use a griddle, large-sized skillet or multiple skillets to cook as many as possible at once. Melt your butter or layer with olive oil over medium heat. Sprinkle a dash of water to test for a light sizzle to know the pan is ready.

Step 5

Add about ¼ cup of chremslach batter to the skillet and shape them like pancakes. Add as many as you can fit onto your pan, but don't overcrowd your pan. You’ll likely have to add more butter or olive oil as you cook to avoid burning

Step 6

After about three minutes, the first side should be ready or close to ready. (Your next batch will likely cook faster.) When ready, flip your chremslach and cook the other side until golden brown. You might have to press down lightly with a spatula if you’ve built your chremslach too tall.

Step 7

Move your chremslach to a plate and layer with fresh fruit of your choice (sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries all go well with this dish). Top with a fruit jam, a drizzle of honey, powdered sugar, and/or an extra dash of cinnamon before serving.
