My Irish-Catholic Mom’s Fluffy Matzo Balls

Servings

12 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup matzo meal not matzo ball mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 quart salted boiling water

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together eggs, oil, and salt. Add matzoh meal mixing well.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours, covered.
  • With wet hands, roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Drop into the salted, boiling water.
  • When all matzoh balls are made & in water cover tightly and cook for 40 minutes. Do not uncover during this process.
  • Shut off heat and let cool for one-two hours keeping the lid tightly closed (don't peek!). This makes for very fluffy balls. They are now ready to add to the chicken soup.
  • This makes 12 balls.
