Sandra Mills's note says it all: great for breakfast and snack, and it doesn't last long. Matzah farfel is tossed with butter, oil, water, brown sugar and cinnamon, plus nuts, coconut and raisins, and baked until toasty and crisp.

Store it in a covered container, if it lasts that long.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 pound matzah farfel
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup nuts
  • Coconut to taste
  • Raisins to taste

  1. Melt. Melt the butter with the oil, water and brown sugar.
  2. Mix. Add the remaining ingredients and toss.
