Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 dash salt
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1/3 cup matzo meal
• 2 teaspoons matzo meal
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon potato starch
• 1/2-1 teaspoon hot water

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450°f in small saucepan combine oil or margarine, and salt. add water and bring to boil.
• 2 add matzo meal all at once and using a wooden spoon, stir constantly until mixture leaves sides of pan, and all liquid is absorbed, then remove from heat.
• 3 add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
• 4 fit a pastry bag with large star tip and fill with matzo mixture. pipe out mixture onto nonstick baking sheet, making 8 donut-shapes in 3.5" circles, leaving about 2" space around each. if you don't have a pastry bag you can spoon the mixture into 6-8 rounds instead.
• 5 bake for 10 minutes. reduce oven to 400f and bake until crullers are puffed and lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes more. remove and place on wire rack to cool. do not overbake or they will be dry.
• 6 meanwhile, prepare glaze: combine sugar and potato starch. transfer powder to small bowl and add 1/2 to 1 tsp hot water, mixing until smooth. using a teaspoon, drizzle half of glaze over crullers. add cocoa to remaining glaze and drizzle again over crullers, making a black and pattern. let glaze harden before serving.
