Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons olive oil
⅓ cup club soda
2 tablespoons club soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups matzo meal, or more as needed
4 quarts water
Directions
Whisk eggs and olive oil in a bowl until combined; stir both amounts of club soda and salt into egg mixture. Mix matzo meal into wet ingredients to form a workable dough; if mixture is too wet, stir in 1/4 cup more matzo meal. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Wet your hands and form matzo ball dough into walnut-size balls. Gently place matzo balls into boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer matzo balls until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cook’s Note
Don't be tempted to store matzo balls in your chicken soup; they will absorb the liquid and become mushy. It's much better to store them separately and heat them with your soup.
