Traditionally lattkes were cooked in schmaltz (chicken fat). So they were when I was little, but only in veg. oil these days due to health concerns.

The quantity looked like a typo. If half a cup of butter will do, why an ocean of schmaltz.

[dennisw]

Yep, the schmaltz is too high. Schmaltz will be roughly the same quantity as any other fat used in cooking. Lattkes are not deep fried, are pan fried in 1/4 inch of oil. Some onion must be grated, not just potato. My mother made me do the grating when she made them.


Are best served with sour cream but others like apple sauce on the side which cuts the grease.

Is the refrigerate-and-turn between steps 3) and 4)?

If I understand your question. The refrigerate-and-turn is during the precooking stage, over the week period before you cook the beef. I hoe that answers your question.. :|

Magical Fortune Cookies

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup salad oil
• 1/2 cup egg whites (whites of about 4 large eggs)
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons vanilla

Prepare "fortune," poems or love notes to include in cookies.  Cut or fold the paper so that it's approximately 1 inch by 3 inches.

Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Then add oil and egg whites, beating until smooth.  Beat in water and vanilla.  Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto a greased baking sheet and spread evenly into a 10-inch circle.  Bake only one or two at a time in a 300-degree oven for about 14 minutes or until light golden brown.  (If underbaked, cookie will tear during shaping.)  With a wide spatula, remove one cookie at a time from the oven.

Working quickly, flip the baked cookie onto your hand.  (Use a towel or wear cotton gloves to keep the cookie from sticking to your hand).  Place a fortune in the center of cookie and fold it in half.  Do not crease the cookie.  Then fold the two ends of the cookie toward each other and hold together for a couple of minutes while the cookie becomes firm.  Repeat steps until all the batter is used.

Makes six large fortune cookies.

HAPPY CHANUKAH TO THE BEAUTIFUL JEWISH PEOPLE!

[Braak]

Gut Yontev everybody! And hey, this is one Jew who gets gas from the soup? Perhaps I never had it made right...

[wardaddy]

You have a legitimate beef and I am in accord but this is not the thread for that and nor would I blame Jewish Freepers for the sins of the secularists...Jewish or otherwise.

Respectfully.

[Maven]

Oops - ignore the 8! LOL! It's just half a cup of schmaltz.

If you have any Keto Ketato mix, you can add that in to give it a more "potatoey" flavor.

Happy holidays to you, too, and uh, it's only half a cup of schmaltz.
