Yield Makes 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1/3 cup schmaltz
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/3 cups matzo meal

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large, wide stockpot three-quarters full of water, add 1 tablespoon of the salt, and bring to a rapid boil.
  • 2. While water is boiling, crack eggs into a large bowl and beat thoroughly. Beat in schmaltz, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and baking powder. Slowly fold in matzo meal, mixing vigorously until completely blended.
  • 3. Wet hands and, folding the mixture in your palms, shape perfect balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter (they will double in size when cooked). Gently place the matzo balls in the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place 1 or 2 in each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.

I've made this recipe many times, and it always turns out perfectly. The matzo balls are light and fluffy, with a delicious flavor. I love serving them in chicken soup, but they're also good on their own.

These matzo balls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I may have used too much water in the batter. However, the texture was good.

These matzo balls were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I may have overmixed the batter. However, the flavor was still good.

I've made matzo balls many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The matzo balls were perfectly cooked, with a tender center and a slightly crispy exterior. I will definitely be using this recipe again.
