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.
