Recipes FAQ

What is matzo meal?

Matzo meal is a flour-like substance made from ground matzo crackers. It is commonly used in Jewish cooking, particularly during Passover when leavened bread is not allowed.

Can I make the matzo balls ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the matzo balls ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to use, simply drop them into the simmering broth and cook as directed.

Recipe Tips

  • Use cold club soda to give the matzo balls a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the matzo ball mixture, as this can result in tough and dense matzo balls.
  • Refrigerate the matzo ball mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the mixture to firm up.
  • Simmer the matzo balls gently, as boiling can cause them to break apart.
