it was meant for Les. Matzo balls are made from Matzo meal and egg.
depending on who makes them other ingredients will be added. You form
the mix into balls and drop into chicken broth to cook all the way
through. I actually like large matzo balls so that requires a lengthy
cooking time. I use a large ice scream scoop to measure the mix. I
think it tastes best when you cook the matzo ball soup for at least 2
days. simmer 4 to 5 hours one day then simmer the same the next day.
The matzo balls are firm nothing like a dumpling. Adding veggies and
some chicken meet is also an option. Because of the carb content of
Matzo Balls I don't eat more than 2 in a single bowl of soup.
