My awesome matzo ball recipe

Post by Shlomart Ben Yisrael »

6 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup clarified butter, schmaltz or oil>/td>
1 1/2 cup matzoh meal
1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup water

1. Beat eggs, add salt. While beating, add butter.
2. Add matzoh meal and baking powder and continue to beat until well mixed.
3. Gradually beat in the water. Chill for at least two hours.
4. Moisten hands and form into balls the size of large walnuts.
5. Drop into simmering salted water and cook for 40 minutes.
6. Reheat in soup for 10-15 minutes.
7. It's also traditional to saute in butter with some sauteed sliced onions and served as a side dish.

Your recipe isn't "Kosher" if you use butter and put them into chicken soup (trhe traditional soup of matzo balls), I prefer the schmaltz. Otherwise, it looks spot on. The only other change I would make is to form them bigger than "large walnuts", no smaller than a golf ball, but not much bigger either IMO. Another trick is to make extra and pour them into ice cube trays. You don't have to form them and they store in the freezer for use at any time.

Is Matzoh Meal kind of like Malt-O-Meal?
