MATZO BALLS

You have heard of Matzo balls but you never really knew what they were.

They are simply a different kind of dumpling.

They are super simple to make and a nice change of pace for your soup or stew.

Matzo is a ground Jewish leavened bread. You should be able to locate Matzo meal in larger grocery stores in the baking aisle or a Jewish market.

In a large bowl combine 2 Eggs, 1/2 cup Matzo meal, 1/4 cup Club Soda, 2 tablespoons Rendered Chicken fat (Chicken drippings) and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until it has a smooth consistancy.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

This will help all the ingredients to blend and become more flavorful.

Finish making your soup or stew and just before serving, drop the dough from a tablespoon into the liquid.

You will have about 8 good sized dumplings. Cover your pot and simmer for about 30 minutes with out lifting the lid.

Serve hot with your soup or stew and enjoy!
