Bumelos De Masa (Sephardic Pancakes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 large eggs
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup cold water
    1 cup matzo meal
    walnut oil (for frying)
    honey
    finely chopped walnuts
Preparation
    In a deep mixing bowl, beat the eggs well.
    Add the salt and cold water, whisking well and thoroughly.
    Mix in the matza meal. The batter should be like a thin pancake batter.
    Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a 12-inch skillet.
    Heat over medium-high heat.
    Pour 1/4 cup batter into the skillet. It will spread into a little pancake.
    Repeat until you have four or five pancakes frying.
    Regulate the heat, adjusting it to prevent burning as the bumuelos cook.
    Fry 3-4 minutes on each side and drain the bumuelos on paper towels.
    Serve with honey poured over the pancakes and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
