Marvelous Matzoh Balls image

I've had plenty of matzoh balls in my life, but these are the best ones by far! Do not resort to a boxed mix, these are easy and far superior! Matzoh balls are traditionally made for the Jewish holiday of Passover and float (or sink) in a bowl of chicken soup. However, there is nothing more comforting when you don't feel well than a piping hot bowl of chicken soup with these gems.
