Pour the eggs and chicken fat into a small bowl and whisk properly
While whisking, add the matzo meal, onions, salt, pepper, ginger, parsley and baking powder and continue stirring until fully blended
Cool the mix in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour Note:If you want fluffy matzo balls, cool them for at least 3 hours
Boil a large saucepan of chicken broth
Form balls from the dough. How do you make dough balls?
Fill 2 tablespoons per ball, and drop them into the boiling chicken broth soup Note:if you want your matzo balls to be fluffy, then make the balls smaller. 1 tablespoon should be enough
Add in the carrots, and boil the matzo ball soup mix for about 40 minutes, until the matzo balls are soft
Serve in soup bowls as soup, as “standalone” matzo balls or with a stew
Recipe Notes
Matzo balls are usually served 2-3 per person
The matzo balls can be taken out and served without soup or with a stew
