You will want to bake them after boiling them or they won't be fluffy in the middle. Here is a traditional Matzoh Ball recipe - after you have made them place the Matzoh balls on a lightly greased baking dish and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until golden.





MATZOH BALLS:





1 c. matzoh meal (unsalted)


4 eggs


1/2 c. water


1/3 c. melted butter


1 tsp. salt


Dash of pepper





Mix eggs, water, salt, pepper and butter in medium sized mixing bowl. Place matzoh meal in separate bowl. When liquid batter is thoroughly mixed, add gradually into matzoh meal, constantly stirring. Stir matzoh dough until all lumps are removed. (Batter will be the consistency of cake batter just slightly thicker.) Set aside in refrigerator for 1 hour for batter to thicken.


When batter has been chilled, boil 1 1/2 quarts of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Roll matzoh dough into small balls and drop into boiling water, one at a time. Cook for 20 minutes. Drain water when done. Matzoh balls can then be added directly to soup or may be refrigerated separately until served with soup and then warmed.
