- 2 tsp sugar, divided, optional
- 5 1/2 cups water, divided
- 3 eggs, slightly beaten

- the onions. Add 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, t tsp sugar and 5
- cups of water. Bring to a boil.

- Tuna-Nut Puffs
-
- These puffs may be made with a tsp-ful of batter to yield many
- tiny puffs, which are ideal crunchy hot hors d'oeuvres. For an
- excellent luncheon dish, serve large puffs with a creamed
- mushroom sauce.
-
- 1 can (7 ounces) tuna fish, drained, liquid reserved
- 1/3 cup chopped, toasted almonds
- water added to reserved tuna liquid to make 1 cup
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbs minced fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 very small onion, finely grated
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 4 eggs
- grease for baking sheet
-
- Finely chop the tuna in a wooden chopping bowl. Add the
- chopped almonds. Mix together and set aside.
-
- In a medium sized saucepan, pour the cup of tuna liquid and
- water mixture, add the oil, salt, parsley, grated onion and
- pepper. Bring to a boil. Add the cup of matzo meal all at once.
- Beat rapidly over low heat until the mixture leaves the sides of
- the pan and forms a smooth compact ball. Set aside to cool a
- bit.
-
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating hard with a spoon after
- each addition, until the mixture is shiny. Add the tuna mixture.
- Blend thoroughly.
-
- Drop the mixture by the heaping tbs-ful onto a greased baking
- sheet. Do not crowd them; leave room for expansion.
-
- Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Turn
- the heat down to 350 degrees F and continue baking for an
- additional 30-45 minutes, until brown. Serve hot. Yields 22-24
- puffs.

- Matzo Brei
-
- 4 matzos

- 4 eggs

- in a large bowl until soft but not soggy. Drain well. In a
- separate bowl beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Add
- the matzos and blend together.
-
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the egg
- mixture. Cook over medium heat. As the eggs begin to thicken
- and brown stir from the bottom with a wide spatula or pancake
- turner, keeping the matzo in large, scramble pieces. If you
- prefer, cook the mixture as a large omelet, browning on both
- sides. Turn out onto a warm serving dish. Serves 4.
