What each ingredient does
- Matzoh meal
- Provides the starch and body that hold the dough together as it bakes.
- Eggs
- Bind the dough and add structure and richness as they set in the oven.
- Oil
- Adds fat for tenderness and moisture in the finished rolls.
- Confectioners' sugar
- Adds a little sweetness and helps the rolls brown lightly in the oven.
The step that matters
Let the mixture cool before adding the eggs. If the hot mixture meets the eggs, they can begin to scramble, leaving lumps and uneven binding instead of a smooth dough.
