FLUFFY MATZO BALLS



Fluffy Matzo Balls image

I've taken tips from many recipes and tried them all. I finally came up with a recipe for fluffy matzo balls. My family loves these and I'm sure you will too! Can be used for soup or as a side dish with meat. If you are making these for soup, add immediately to your soup, but do not cook these with your soup mixture as they will make the soup cloudy.

FLUFFY MATZO BALLS

A fairly simple matzo ball recipe, but very good. If you don't have chicken fat, you can use a neutral oil, but it will really lack flavor.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 matzo balls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 large eggs or 6 jumbo eggs, separated
2 tablespoons chicken fat
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup matzo meal

Steps:

  • Beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg yolks. Add chicken fat, salt and pepper, and beat well. Set aside.
  • Fold matzo meal into egg whites gently, preserving as much air as possible. Fold egg yolk mixture into batter, still preserving as much air as possible. Refrigerate batter 30-60 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt (more than you would use for pasta). Using wet hands, divide batter into 12 portions and form each into a rough ball. Drop into pot.
  • When all 12 balls are in the pot, and the water has returned to the boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, turning matzo balls over in the water once. Turn off heat and allow to remain in the hot water for 60 minutes more. Serve in hot soup (or refrigerate up to 2 days, reheating in the soup before serving).
