BEST MATZAH BALLS
These can be tricky to get the right consistency. After years of experimenting with the basic recipe, I found these to come out soft but not falling apart. If you like firm/hard-middle matzah balls, either reduce the seltzer or add 1/4 cup matzah meal.

MARVELOUS MATZOH BALLS
I've had plenty of matzoh balls in my life, but these are the best ones by far! Do not resort to a boxed mix, these are easy and far superior! Matzoh balls are traditionally made for the Jewish holiday of Passover and float (or sink) in a bowl of chicken soup. However, there is nothing more comforting when you don't feel well than a piping hot bowl of chicken soup with these gems.

KITTENCAL'S MATZO BALL SOUP
This is wonderful on a cold day --- I use my recipe #118258 for this that I keep in the freezer, canned low-sodium will do just fine but homemade broth is always the best and do not add any extra salt to the broth as the matzo balls already have plenty of salt in them already you may always add in some salt if needed at the end of cooking --- these matzo balls will almost double in size when simmering in the broth so do not reduce the amount of broth you may however increase if desired --- matzo meal may be found in the Jewish section of any major supermarket or sold in Jewish food stores.

Tips:
- Use high-quality matzo meal. This will ensure that your matzo balls are light and fluffy.
- Make sure the matzo meal is fresh. Old matzo meal can make your matzo balls tough.
- Don't overmix the matzo meal and eggs. Overmixing will make your matzo balls dense.
- Let the matzo balls rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them to absorb the liquid and become more tender.
- Cook the matzo balls in a large pot of boiling water. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the matzo balls will not cook properly.
- Cook the matzo balls for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the matzo balls are done.
- Serve the matzo balls hot, with your favorite soup or broth.
