Mom's Mandel Bread Recipe
Topics: Passover, Kindergarten, Arts and Crafts
When we were kids, my brother and I used to wonder what would happen if we snuck a bite of pizza or a piece of cake. Would my mom find out? Would the Passover police come and get us? Now, I'm the police. So, in the interest of all of you out there from a bi-religious family, destined to plead the case for Passover in the coming week, I offer this: an amazing recipe your kids are sure to gobble up, whether they're Jewish by choice, or not!
1 1/2 cups sugar, creamed with 1/2 pound of butter
Add 6 eggs, beat well after each addition
Sift together:
2 3/4 cups matzo cake meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup potato starch
Fold the above ingredients into egg mixture until combined
Add walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips
Shape into two loaves and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Slice into thin slabs (like biscotti). Enjoy!
