Matzo balls are a classic Jewish comfort food that are typically served in chicken soup. They are made from a mixture of matzo meal, eggs, and water, and they can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whole matzo matzo balls are a variation on the classic matzo ball that uses whole matzo instead of matzo meal. This results in a matzo ball that is more chewy and has a more pronounced matzo flavor. Whole matzo matzo balls can be made in a variety of ways, including boiling, baking, and frying. They can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as gravy, sour cream, or salsa.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, stock, oil, pepper and 2 teaspoons salt; mix well. Gradually add dill and 1 cup of matzo meal, stirring with a fork.
- Whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold into matzo batter. Cover and refrigerate until batter is well chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Wet hands with cold water and shape some of batter into a walnut-size ball. Drop it into pot. If it starts to fall apart, add a little more matzo meal to remaining batter. If it holds its shape, roll remaining batter into balls and add to pot.
- Simmer matzo balls, covered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat soup until simmering. When matzo balls are ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer them from water to soup. Serve hot.

WHOLE MATZO-MATZO BALLS
my mother always made this for the 2nd Passover Sedar dinner with roast brisket. I remember the matzo balls as being huge and covered with the brisket gravy. i never asked my mother for the recipe and thought it was gone forever, but i purchased the Holocaust Survivor Cookbook and there was the recipe. My mother always sliced the leftovers and browned them in parve margarine for part of a yummy 3rd day of Passover dinner.
