Matzo Brei I
Submitted by: Cookie
1 Matzo 
1 medium egg
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 shake of cinnamon
Break matzos in a large bowl, pour hot water over. After a couple of minutes, pour water off, squeeze surplus water out, add other ingredients and mix well. Melt a little butter or margarine in a frying pan, add mixture all at once and flatten out into a large cake. You can cut it in the pan while it is cooking, or make small individual ones. Flip it when it starts getting crusty underneath (good luck flipping a whole one!). Cook through until well done but still soft.  Serve immediately, with brown sugar to sprinkle. This recipe is for one person.
Note: You can substitute Matzo for whole wheat.
