Carol Wolk's Prize-Winning Matzo Balls image

This recipe won the grand prize in 1988 at the first Matzo Bowl, a contest held by the Stage Delicatessen in Manhattan. If you're sensitive to salt, you may want to reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon or less.

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cups plus 1 tablespoon chicken broth
1 1/4 cups matzo meal
5 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon vodka
2 tablespoons club soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place the 8 cups chicken broth in a deep pot over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal and eggs. Add the salt, vodka, club soda, remaining 1 tablespoon chicken broth and vegetable oil. Mix well. Put in the freezer for 45 minutes.
  • Use 2 tablespoons to form matzo balls that are about 2 inches in diameter. When the broth is hot but not yet boiling, use a slotted spoon to place each ball into the soup. Cover the pot, cook for 40 minutes and serve.
