Time 55m

Yield 18 to 20 matzo balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 extra-large eggs, separated
1/2 cup good chicken stock
1/4 cup rendered chicken fat, melted
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for egg whites
1 cup matzo meal

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg yolks, chicken stock, chicken fat, parsley, and salt. Stir in the matzo meal. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Whisk them into the matzo mixture until it is smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the mixture is thick.
  • Form balls the size of golf balls by shaping them with 2 spoons, rolling them with your hands, or scooping them with a small ice cream scoop. Drop them into simmering chicken stock and cook for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and puffed, turning once. Remove and serve hot in chicken soup.

Tips:

- Use high-quality matzo meal. This will make a big difference in the texture and flavor of your matzo balls. - Make sure the matzo meal is fresh. Old matzo meal can make your matzo balls tough. - Use cold water. This will help the matzo meal absorb more water and make for a lighter matzo ball. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the matzo balls tough. - Let the matzo balls rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them set and keep their shape. - Cook the matzo balls in a large pot of boiling water. This will help them cook evenly. - Don't crowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the matzo balls will not cook evenly. - Serve the matzo balls immediately. They are best when served hot.

Conclusion:

Matzo balls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a popular addition to chicken soup, but they can also be served as a side dish or appetizer. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect matzo balls every time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and comforting dish, give matzo balls a try!
