My bimuelo pan is a round piece of aluminum approximately 11 inches in diameter and two inches high. It has handles on opposite ends. The pan is not flat - it has six small round indentations, each about one and one-half inches wide.

This bimuelo pan has been passed down for about 80 years from my great-great-grandmother Eliza. She gave it to my great-grandmother Lucia who gave it to my grandmother Cynthia. My grandmother still uses the bimuelo pan every Passover. In this bimuelo pan, matzah and egg are fried in oil until golden, making little bimuelo pancake-type fritters. The bimuelos can be eaten with anything sweet such as sugar (regular or confectioners), honey, or maple syrup. I look forward to making bimuelos this year because my grandmother is going to teach me how to make them!
