Health and fertility benefits of Matzo Fritters
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
4 sheets matzo, crushed into 1/4-inch pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 4 cups)
Jam (for serving)
Instructions
Mix matzo in a medium bowl with 1/2 cup water (mixture should be doughlike); let sit 10 minutes for edges to soften. Mix in egg, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar.
Meanwhile, mix remaining 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Pour oil into a medium heavy pot to come 2" up the sides; fit pot with thermometer and heat oil over medium until thermometer registers 375 °F.
Use a 1-oz. ice cream scoop to portion dough into balls. Working in 2 batches, fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels; let cool slightly, then toss in cinnamon sugar. Serve with jam.
