Best Matzah Recipes and Matzah Cooking Ideas

The key to really fluffy, light and delicious matzah balls is not in the matzah – it's in the eggs. Once I figured that out, the rest became easy. I always find that it is best to boil up the matzah balls in plain salted water first and only add them to the soup later on. This way they will not soak up all your precious and delicious soup when boiling and they will re-fluff as they boil up the second time around. —Tamar AnshThis recipe was originally published in the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Matzah-Less Matzah Balls

These "matzah balls" look so real your guests may just fall off their chairs in shock! In my family I make them since we do not eat "gebrochts" i.e. we do not use any form of matzah or matzah meal in the foods we make on Pesach (Passover). Even if your custom is to use matzah meal, you may find yourselves using these also as they are so light and quite good; they don't taste like matzah but they sure do the trick for those who want a matzah-less "matzah" ball! —Tamar AnshThis recipe was originally published in the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
