Yield Makes 10 to 12 large matzoh balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
6 tablespoons cold water
3 heaping teaspoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat), solidified
Salt
Pinch of white pepper
2/3 to 3/4 cup matzoh meal
2 1/2 to 3 quarts water

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs lightly with cold water. Add the chicken fat and stir until the fat dissolves. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Gradually beat in the matzoh meal, 2 tablespoons at a time, proceeding slowly as it thickens so you do not add too much. The mixture should be as thick as light mashed potatoes, and just a little soft and spongy. Add salt and pepper as needed. Chill for 5 to 7 hours.
  • Half an hour before serving time, bring 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add a handful of salt, as for pasta.
  • With wet hands, or two tablespoons dipped intermittently in cold water, shape the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Drop gently into the boiling water, cover pot loosely, and let boil at a moderately brisk pace for about 25 minutes.
  • When one ball tests done (cut it open and see if it is light and cooked all the way through), remove all carefully with a slotted spoon. Serve in hot chicken soup.
  • Variation:
  • To make fried matzoh balls, chill the cooked balls overnight. In the morning, cut into slices between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick and fry slowly in hot butter or margarine, turning so both sides become golden brown and the slices are thoroughly heated.

I've made knaidlach before, but they never turned out as good as this recipe. These were the best knaidlach I've ever had. They were so light and fluffy, and they had the perfect amount of flavor. I will definitely be using this recipe again.

These knaidlach were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. I served them with a simple chicken soup and they were the perfect comfort food. Thank
