What to do with leftover matzo meal
Matzo meal is made by finely grinding matzo crackers (an unleavened cracker-like bread that is traditionally eaten around the Jewish holiday of Passover) into a breadcrumb-like consistency. It is made simply from flour and water, and creates a light, crust-of-a-good-bread flavour, which can be used in a multitude of ways.
