Matzo Meal

Matzo meal is a finely ground product made from matzo, the unleavened flatbread traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Passover. It is produced by grinding dry matzo crackers into a fine or medium-coarse powder. In the kitchen, it serves as a substitute for regular flour or breadcrumbs, particularly in kosher Passover recipes. It is used to thicken soups and sauces, to make matzo balls (kneidlach) for chicken soup, pancakes, cakes, and other baked goods. It has a mild, neutral flavour and blends easily with other ingredients, making it a versatile pantry staple.
