  • Crescent biscuits are a traditional pesach biscuit for some Ashkenazi Jews (not that I am one, lol) made with potato starch (can't use corn starch, it's Kitniyos) and matza meal (basically powdered matza) and other biscuit ingredients such as sugar and eggs. Those who don't eat matza with water ('gebrok') can't have them though.

    And yes, there are also pesach cakes, known as plavas. And yes, they involve a lot of separating eggs.

  • It's the flour, generally. Although rice is now fine. I mean rice has been fine for a few years. It really depends on sect and how observant you are.

    I don't keep kosher nor kosher for passover. I'll make sure food I prepare for mother for seder is good, but once I get home I'm eating a very normal pizza and pasta cause they're cheap.

    Also kosher for passover cakes are horrific, just make a flourless torte. Or something. Charoset is delicious as a dessert.
