for recommending my book for kids who celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah. Here’s the link.
Time-tested Latke Recipe
Growing up in a Jewish family in Johannesburg, South Africa, my mother always made latkes made from the International Goodwill recipe book — her “go to” book for our family’s meals. Here is the latke recipe:
3 medium-sized potatoes, small grated onion, 2 eggs, 5 Tbs flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, dash of pepper, oil for frying.
Grate the potatoes and onions. Add salt, pepper, eggs, flour and baking powder and mix. Drop by tablespoons into deep hot oil into which a piece of onion has been added. Fry to golden brown on each side. Put in oven to dry and crisp for about five minutes. Serve with applesauce.
Coloring Sheet
The holidays are coming up. This year Hanukkah begins on December 12th. Get young kids (and grownups) busy with this coloring sheet of the book’s cover.
