Kittencal's Light-As-A-Feather Matzo Balls image

These are the *best* and fluffiest matzo balls on the planet, matzo meal can be found in the Jewish or deli section of any major super market chain or in a deli store, store any leftover matzo meal in the fridge or freezer ---these really expand when simmering in the broth so make sure that you have lots of broth in the pot before adding them in :)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs

  • Mix lightly until combined (do not over mix).
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Using lightly greased hands shape the mixture into 1-inch round balls.
  • Drop the balls into a large pot of simmering chicken broth (can use boiling water mixed with 2 tablespoons or more of chicken bouillon powder instead of the broth).
  • Cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes or until soft and tender.
  • *NOTE* the balls will expand to almost double in size when cooking.
