Matzo meal simply refers to matzo crackers that are ground up into a fine meal. You can also find matzo ball mix in most supermarkets; it consists of matzo meal, spices, and preservatives. You can use any fat of your choice, but chicken fat is the most common. Oil or margarine can also be used in place of fat.
Step 7: Make the Matzo balls
While the chicken is simmering, line a 9×13 dish or baking sheet with plastic wrap or parchment paper to receive matzah balls. This makes it easy to transport the balls and pop them back into the fridge if you finish before the soup is ready.
To form the balls, wet your hands with cold water, then roll scoops of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into balls, handling them as gently as possible. Place the balls on the parchment/plastic and refrigerate until ready to use.
Can I make matzo balls the night before?
Yes! You can mix the matzo dough up to two days ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator. You can also roll the matzo balls up to two days ahead of time. Line the uncooked balls on a parchment paper lined tray (a 9×13 works well), tightly cover and refrigerate until ready to add to the simmering soup.
