Ultimate Matzo Balls
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
Instructions
1
Combine eggs and olive oil in a mixing vessel until they merge seamlessly; incorporate both amounts of club soda and salt into the egg mixture, blending it thoroughly. Gradually add matzo meal to the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms; if the mixture proves too damp, add an additional 1/4 cup of matzo meal to achieve the desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate for a period of 30 minutes.
2
Heat water to a rolling boil in a large, deep pot. Wet your hands and shape the matzo ball dough into walnut-sized orbs. Delicately place these balls into the boiling water, taking care not to overcrowd the pot. Once the heat is reduced to a low setting, cover the pot and let the matzo balls simmer gently until they become tender, requiring approximately 25 to 30 minutes of cooking time.
