Matza
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Matzah.
Matzah meal and matzah cake meal is crisp matzah that has been ground. The cake meal has a very fine near flour-like consistency, useful in baking, while the standard matzah meal is somewhat coarser and used in cooking. Matzah meal is used to make matzah balls (kneidles/kneidlach), the principal ingredient of kneydlach soup (often translated as "matzah ball soup"). Sephardic Jews typically cook with matzah itself rather than matzah meal.
