Ingredients
- Freshly-ground black pepper(optional)
- Salt(optional)
- 2 eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons butter or nondairy margarine
- 1 packet fine egg pasta (8 oz)
- 2 additional eggs(optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins(optional)
- cinnamon(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions and drain well. Transfer to a large bowl, add butter and blend well. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add onion to noodles. Blend in eggs, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Heat 1/4 inch oil in a 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.
Step 4
Optional: 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.
