MATZO BALLS I
From "The Settlement Cook Book"
- 2 tablespoons marrow or chicken fat, chilled
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 c. matzos meal, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- a grating of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoonful chopped parsley (I'll bet that was added by one of
classy German ladies--somehow I don't see parsley in Ponivez;
it was probably she who also suggested you could use cracker
crumbs or bread crumbs)
Split bones, remove marrow and cream marrow or other fat, add
well-beaten eggs, season, add enough matsoz meal to make soft dough.
Add parsley, shape into balls the size of a marble. Try one in
boiling water; if it doesn't hold together, add more meal. Drop
into boiling soup 15 minutes before serving.
