    Excellent recipe - crispy and delicious, with a delightful onion-y tang. These reminded me of the pancakes made at a German restaurant I worked in which the owners have since sold. I never thought I'd have those again! P.S. I too used flour instead of Matzo meal. You will be able to feel when the batter is the right consistency (not soupy but not stiff.

    I used flour insted of Matzo and they turned out great. I was a little confused as to how much flour to use, since the recipe was not clear, but I used about a half a cup and they turned out great. My neighbor realy liked them

    I used Flour instead of matzo Meal;
    Other than that,We LOVE this recipy!! It's the same recipy that's been handed down in my family for at lease 5 generations that I know of and now that I see it in print, I know it will be used by many more people.

    PS If you use an old fashoned meat grinder instead of a grater, it would be a lot easier on the knuckles and tastes just as good.
