Kosher Perfect Matzo Balls image

OK, OK, I know; your bubbie made the perfect matzo balls. But they are finicky little rascals that are made a 1000 different ways and everyones bubbies always made them best. What I want to share here is the simplest, no nonsence methode of the creation of soft and/or firm matzo balls; for just like white and dark meat people, there are soft and firm matzo ball people.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 50m

Yield 18-24 Matzo Balls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup matzo meal
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons oil or 4 tablespoons melted schmaltz (fat)
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons water or 4 tablespoons broth
baking powder (delete for firm matzo balls)
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional)
1 teaspoon dill weed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Follow these instructions carefully.
  • Measure and mix dry ingredients into a bowl.
  • Individually break the eggs into a clear glass, discarding any with blood spots, and then pour into a second bowl.
  • Add oil or schmaltz (and water or broth for firm matzo balls) to the eggs and stir gently with a fork until the yolks are broken and the oil just mixed.
  • Pour egg mixture into the dry mixture and gently mix with the fork.
  • DO NOT OVER MIX.
  • Treat it like a muffin mixture; if you over mix they will be tough.
  • Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil on the stove.
  • After matzo ball mix has set, gently remove teaspoon fulls of the batter and roll into 1-2" balls and drop into the water.
  • When all the balls are in the water leave it to boil until all the balls float to the top, then lower the temperature to a rolling simmer for 40 minutes and your matzo balls will be ready.
  • DO NOT STIR AT ANY TIME.
  • The matzo balls may be removed from the water with a slotted spoon and served in soup, with a stew, as a side dish with gravy or placed on a cookie sheet and frozen covered for a later use.

I'm not a fan of matzo balls, but I tried these because my wife made them. They were actually pretty good!

These matzo balls were okay, but I've had better. I think the flavor was a little bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my matzo balls fell apart when I cooked them. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These matzo balls were a little too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made matzo balls before, but they never turned out as good as these. I think the secret is in the schmaltz. It gives them such a rich flavor.
