Low-fat matzo balls

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Eggs
Salt
1½ cup Matzo meal

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add ¾ cup water and 1½ teaspoons salt; whisk to combine. Whisk in the matzo meal, and chill batter overnight. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside. Bring a large, wide saucepan of salted water to a boil. Slightly dampen your fingertips, and form 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter into a 1 ½-inch ball, being careful not to compress the mixture too much, and place the ball on the pan. Form the remaining balls. Place a ball on a large spoon, and slide it into the boiling water. Add as many balls as will fit in the pan without overcrowding, keeping in mind that the balls will double in size while they cook. When the balls float to the surface, after about 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium. Cover, and cook about 45 minutes. To test for doneness, remove a ball from the water, and slice in half. The color should be light throughout. If the center is darker, cook 5 to 10 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the matzo balls to a plate.

Cook the remaining balls. Makes 20.
