My nana, Sarlene Tarmy, was a magnificent cook and a real character. She kept her recipes in a Passover notebook in which she wrote journal entries to herself each year, along with superlative descriptions of her recipes and notes of encouragement to future generations. These matzo farfel muffins were one of her favorite Passover recipes and she beamed with excitement when they would emerge from the oven high and puffy. Her recipe, which is easy to make, is transcribed exactly as she wrote it decades ago.
