BEST MATZAH BALLS
These can be tricky to get the right consistency. After years of experimenting with the basic recipe, I found these to come out soft but not falling apart. If you like firm/hard-middle matzah balls, either reduce the seltzer or add 1/4 cup matzah meal.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.

MATZA BALLS OR SOUP DUMPLINGS (KNAIDLACH)
These are usually served in a clear broth, but can be used as a side dish with meats or fish. The version given here results in either a fluffy dumpling (made with soda water) or a firm, chewy one (made with broth). There may also be some disagreements between families as to whether the ideal knaidle should be like a cloud (made with soda water) or like a golf ball (made with broth). Depends on what is traditional in your family. This recipe can be easily increased.

- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour. Stir, then shape with moistened hands into 8 large (or 16 small) balls or oval shapes, using a rounded tablespoons of mixture, or less if you like them small.
- Drop into boiling salted water. Cover and simmer 45 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to soup.
- NOTES:.
- *While Matza Meal resembles other dried crumbs, many use it year around for its special quality of swelling as it on absorbs moisture.
- To increase fiber content, use whole wheat, or wheat bran Matza, finely crushed.
- If you are not fussy about clouded chicken soup, cook Knaidlach directly in soup.
- To Life!

CHICKEN KNEIDLACH (CHICKEN MATZO BALLS)
I grew up on matzo kneidlach, but have recently discovered chicken kneidlach. They make a great addition to chicken soup, and are yummy in a rich vegetable soup or grain soup as well. You can have soup as a main dish on a cold winter's day.

Steps:
- Combine the ground chicken, egg whites, egg yolks, matzo meal, cold water and sugar in a large bowl.
- The best way to get it all mixed up is to use your (clean) hands.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with water (I use a 9 quart pot with about 8 quarts of water in it to cook all the kneidlach at once).
- Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- If you like, you can toss a bouillon cube into the pot for flavoring, or add any spices you might like.
- I usually toss in some paprika and salt.
- Remove the bowl from the fridge.
- Wet your hands with water.
- Form the knedilach mixture into 36 balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Always make sure your hands are wet so the dough doesn't stick.
- Drop the kneidlach into the boiling water.
- Half cover the pot and turn the flame down so the kneidlach are simmering in the water.
- Let them simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Turn off the heat.
- With a slotted spoon, remove the kneidlach.
- They are now ready to be added to your soup.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs lightly with cold water. Add the chicken fat and stir until the fat dissolves. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Gradually beat in the matzoh meal, 2 tablespoons at a time, proceeding slowly as it thickens so you do not add too much. The mixture should be as thick as light mashed potatoes, and just a little soft and spongy. Add salt and pepper as needed. Chill for 5 to 7 hours.
- Half an hour before serving time, bring 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add a handful of salt, as for pasta.
- With wet hands, or two tablespoons dipped intermittently in cold water, shape the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Drop gently into the boiling water, cover pot loosely, and let boil at a moderately brisk pace for about 25 minutes.
- When one ball tests done (cut it open and see if it is light and cooked all the way through), remove all carefully with a slotted spoon. Serve in hot chicken soup.
- Variation:
- To make fried matzoh balls, chill the cooked balls overnight. In the morning, cut into slices between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick and fry slowly in hot butter or margarine, turning so both sides become golden brown and the slices are thoroughly heated.
