Fried Matzo or Gilding the Lily

1 matzo
matzo meal
1 jumbo or extra large egg
½ eggshell of cold water
¼ tsp. salt
3 tsp. butter

Beat egg, salt and water well. Add matzo meal, starting with about 3 tsp. Beat well and add more until mixture is thick enough to spread on the matzo. If too thin, it won’t stay on, if too thick it won’t cover both sides. Heat frying pan. Spread half of the mix on one side of matzo. Melt 1½ tsp. butter in pan. Put in matzo, mixture side down. Spread other half of mix on top. Cook for a minute. Lift matzo on spatula and add butter to pan. Turn matzo over carefully. Cook until lightly brown on both sides, turning once or twice. Go directly to the hospital after eating.
