PASSOVER Mandel Brot ala Margalit

Margalit and I always confer about our Passover Menus.... Here is a great recipe that she enjoyed from her friend Janet. It has become a favorite of both of us.


INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 lb ( 2 sticks) butter
• 6 eggs, added one at a time
• 2 and 3/4 cups Matzo Cake Meal
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 cup Potato Starch
• 1 cup Chocolate Bits
• 1 cup Chopped nuts ( I enjoy walnuts)

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Grease cookie sheet (with either pam, or butter). You can line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream the sugar, butter, and eggs (added one at a time)
• Combine the matzo cake meal, salt, and potato starch.
• Add the chocolate bits and nuts.
• Form three (3) loaves , using wet hands so that the mixture does not stick to your hands.
• Bake for 35 minutes, then remove from oven... slice... and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

OPTIONAL: Chocolate Mandel Brot

• Add 4 Tablespoons of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder to mixture. You can add White Chocolate Bits and/or Macadamian Nuts.
