These can be served after a meat or dairy meal, depending on whether you use butter (for a dairy meal), or Parve-Kosher for Passover margarine (for a meat OR dairy meal) in the recipe. TIP: If using margarine, remember to read the ingredients label on the margarine container or box, as some brands of margarine contain milk or other dairy products.
