NYC Style Passover Bagels - recipe by Carolyn Cohen

These bagels are so delicious, especially when they are fresh. I recommend making them and eating them the same day or next day. They are also great toast

Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup matzo meal
  • 1 Tbs. sugar, or to taste
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pre-heat oven to 375˚F.

  2. 2

    Bring oil, water, and salt to a boil. Sprinkle in matzo meal and stir with a spoon, when mixture becomes sticky and pulls away from the sides of the pot, let it cool.

  3. 3

    Add sugar and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. I use a wooden spoon for this.

  4. 4

    Dipping your hands in cold water first, form batter into a small balls and lay on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat with all the batter, dipping hands in water each time. Using your finger make a large hole in the center of each bun. I do this by circling my finger in the hole until I have a large enough hole (1-2 inches in diameter).

  5. 5

    Bake for 15-20 min., until bagels are puffy, drop the temperature to 325 degrees and bake for another 30 mins., until golden brown. Makes 6-8 bagel
