This classic matzo balls recipe is the ultimate comfort food, providing the heart and soul of a traditional Jewish chicken soup. Known for their light, fluffy texture and savoury depth, these dumplings are a staple during Passover but are equally wonderful as a warming treat throughout the colder months. The combination of matzo meal and rich schmaltz creates a delicate yet satisfying bite that absorbs the flavours of a fragrant broth beautifully.
As a versatile vegetarian dish, these dumplings can be served in a clear vegetable consommé or a classic golden broth. They are remarkably simple to prepare, requiring just a few store-cupboard essentials and a little patience while they simmer to perfection. Whether you are hosting a festive Seder or simply seeking a nourishing homemade meal, these matzo balls offer a delicious taste of tradition in every bowl.

Ingredients for Matzo Balls
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
50g schmaltz
1/4 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon baking powder
325ml matzo meal
How to make Matzo Balls
Back to contentsFill a large, wide stockpot three-quarters full of water, add 1 tablespoon of the salt, and bring to a rapid boil.
While water is boiling, crack eggs into a large bowl and beat thoroughly. Beat in schmaltz, 1/4 teaspoons salt, pepper, and baking powder. Slowly fold in matzo meal, mixing vigorously until completely blended.
Wet hands and, folding the mixture in your palms, shape perfect balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter (they will double in size when cooked). Gently place the matzo balls in the boiling water, and reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook for 25 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place 1 or 2 in each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.
