Tosefta for Pesachim 71:17
ומאי שנא ממנחת העומר דתניא מנחת העומר לותתין אותה וצוברין אותה ציבור שאני
Alternatively I can say: After all it means with milk, [but] as Rabina said, [When made] like the eye of an ox, it is permitted;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., when made very small, so that it is at once entirely eaten up, and nothing is left for later.');"><sup>17</sup></span> so here too, [it was] like the eye of an ox.'
Tosefta Pesachim
One may not knead matzah using boiling water because it parboils (i.e., causes the outer shell of the wheat kernel to leaven, see Y. Pes. II.7.4, Guggenheimer), nor using lukewarm water because it causes it to ferment, but one may knead it using cold water. One may not knead matzah using any other type of liquid, and if [one does begin to so] knead it, he may bake it immediately [without rendering it chametz], but Rabbi Meir forbids it. But one may spread any of these [liquids] on it (i.e., on the surface of the matzah dough, see Pes. 36a:9).
