Crush the matzo by hand into small pieces. Add the milk or milk alternative and mix together.
Add the eggs, cinnamon and vanilla and mix together. Allow the mix to sit for about 10-15 minutes so the matzo soaks up some of the liquid.
Heat a large pan with a bit of nonstick spray or oil and add a scoop of the matzo mixture. A small 2-ounce ice cream scoop or large spoon works well.
Pat the mixture a bit to form a patty that is about ½-inch thick. Repeat, cooking two patties at a time for about 4-5 minutes over medium heat, and then flip.
Each side should be golden brown, with a firm center. Serve hot with a sweet topping, such as the maple orange reduction or any syrup, jelly or honey.
