This is first thing my parents taught me to make. So when I was a kid and I was hungry I'd make myself some Matzah. Now I am too lazy, so I sometimes buy Matzo.

I am not Jewish, but I often wonder why my family knew this and other things seemingly from Jewish culture. One of things I couldn't get an answer for.
- lebuffon 3y agoIf you have latin american ancestry there are people known as conversos. There were other places besides Spain, in middle ages Europe where people hid their Jewish backgrounds, attended church and blended in to protect their families but some traditions persist. There may be a family secret in your background. Mazel tov!
- marklar423 3y agoJust curious, when you say you made it, you mean from scratch with flour & water? What's your recipe?
- chronogram 3y ago2 flour and 1 water, it doesn't have leavening or salt by design so you just mix it and roll it out until it's wafer thin and prick holes in it so make sure it stays flat. Then you bake it in a really hot oven. The high temperature is great when you bake a lot in a row since it lets you work fast, but for home baking maybe an airfryer is an economical alternative.
