Maybe I’ve been making my matzo balls wrong. I leave them on a low simmer with the lid partially tipped. Going to have to switch up my technique. Also didn’t know that you have to find special matzo ball mix for Passover….not that I keep kosher for Passover. But I just assumed that the ingredients in the mix would be kosher for Passover.

Hi Penny – I know exactly what you mean, so I assigned my dear friend Peggy to take photos while I cooked and served. She had a ball, and I got some great photos for the blog!

Hi Sandi – Since I do not cook them that way I am going to refer you to Rita Milos Brownstein and her fabulous book, Jewish Holiday Style:
1 c. matzoh meal
1 t. baking powder (powder, not soda)
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
4 eggs
1/4 c. water
1 T. oil

Please let me know how it goes!

Hi Cara- yep, we definitely do need our second refrigerator in the garage.
I love that matzoh balls were your cooking inspiration. Mine was noodle kugel when I was in 8th grade.

I left the spices out of this post, as I think they are not essential to the recipe. But the spices in the boxed mix are: onion, pepper, garlic, and celery seed. I say, just add the fresh herbs, that will add much more fresh flavor!

Lori Lynn, it’s too long since I dropped in on you ~ and I’m agog again at how beautiful your site is. I don’t know where to look first! But the matzoh balls look like the sensible and tasty place to start. I’ve learned a lot of new things here today, thank you!

Gorgeous, LL! What a grand celebration. I hope you have had a lovely Passover week.

Box mix notwithstanding, those big, fat dumplings look like the best of homemade. Love that full tray of ‘em. : )
