Best Matzo Balls
This matzo ball recipe came about after years of experimenting with different recipes to get the right consistency. These matzo balls are soft, fluffy, and keep their shape when added to soup. If you like firmer matzo balls, you can reduce the seltzer or add an extra 1/4 cup matzah meal.
