Servings

15 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Cold water or Cold Seltzer
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup matzah meal

Instructions

  • Mix ingredients in order listed until well blended. Cover bowl, and refrigerate for an hour. Moisten hands and form the mixture into balls. I make them small, but size is up to you. Add balls to a pot of salted boiling water, and then simmer, covered, for 30 minutes to an hour. (Alternatively you can boil them up in your chicken soup!)

    Perfect Matzo Balls at first attempt. You may think at first that the mixture is too runny but after an hour in the fridge it was just right.
