Description

This matzo ball recipe combines eggs, oil, and matzah meal to make light, fluffy matzo balls for a delicious addition to your Passover chicken soup.

Ingredients

4 eggs
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup club soda
2 tablespoons club soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups matzo meal, or more as needed
4 quarts water

Directions

1 Whisk eggs and olive oil in a bowl until combined; stir both amounts of club soda and salt into egg mixture. Mix matzo meal into wet ingredients to form a workable dough; if mixture is too wet, stir in 1/4 cup more matzo meal. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Wet your hands and form matzo ball dough into walnut-size balls. Gently place matzo balls into boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer matzo balls until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
