Submitted by Miri G

"This is a tasty addition to a dairy meal. I found the recipe on the Israeli Tnuva website. I adapted for Passover by using a mixture of matza meal and potato flour instead of regular flour. It disappeared in seconds :-) (The 2,5 hours preparation time includes 2 hours chilling in the fridge)"
