MATZA BALLS OR SOUP DUMPLINGS (KNAIDLACH)
These are usually served in a clear broth, but can be used as a side dish with meats or fish. The version given here results in either a fluffy dumpling (made with soda water) or a firm, chewy one (made with broth). There may also be some disagreements between families as to whether the ideal knaidle should be like a cloud (made with soda water) or like a golf ball (made with broth). Depends on what is traditional in your family. This recipe can be easily increased.
