Ingredients




1 pkt fine egg pasta - (8 oz)
2 tablespoons butter or nondairy margarine
Oil for frying
1 small onion finely chopped
2 eggs
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

1 Cook pasta according to package directions and drain well. Transfer to large bowl, add butter and blend well. Set aside. 2 Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in small skillet. Saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add onion to noodles. Blend in eggs and salt and pepper to taste. 3 Heat 1/4 inch oil in large heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop pasta mixture by tablespoons into oil, flattening each spoonful with the back of a spoon to form a thin latke. Fry on both sides until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. (Do not turn the latkes until the first side is golden and the top is firmly set). 4 This recipe yields 30 latkes. 5 Comments: If you have leftover latke batter, you can bake the mixture kugel-style in the oven, adding two additional eggs, a quarter-cup of raisins and a little cinnamon. Spoon this into a greased baking dish or muffin pan and bake at 375 degrees until crusty, 20 to 30 minutes. 6 NOTES :
