Matzo balls in broth

This matzo ball recipes produces light fluffy balls that taste remarkably similar to regular matzo balls. Use egg substitute to make a vegan version.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free matzo meal
  • 3 eggs or egg substitute
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons seltzer water, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and gently mix to incorporate. Be careful not to overmix. Let the matzo ball dough chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  3. Roll small matzo balls out of the dough, about 1-2 inches each. They will double to triple in size.
  4. Drop them into the boiling water. As the matzo balls cook, they will puff up and rise to the top. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes. Use a spoon to flip them over.
  5. Remove the matzo balls and add to this chicken soup recipe.

Notes

Adding a little seltzer to the dough mixture adds fluffiness to the matzo balls.
