Ingredients
  

  • 10 sheets of matzah
  • Hot water
  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick of butter, for cooking

To top (optional):

  • Cinnamon-sugar
  • Walnuts
  • Sliced bananas
  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, crush matzah and soak in hot water for 15 seconds before draining excess water.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the bananas, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
  • Into the large bowl of drained matzah, add the egg and banana mixture, and stir to combine.
  • In a small pan over low heat, melt about 1 Tbsp of butter (per pancake), then use a 1/2 cup to measure out your pancakes. Flatten with a spatula and fry until golden brown on each side, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
