Matzoh Balls
Soup
Directions
Beat egg yolks and chicken fat until thick and well blended. Add the ½ cup of hot chicken stock and beat well.
Slowly stir in all the herbs and spices in a medium bowl to blend.
Beat egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into yolk mixture alternating with matzo meal, doing 1/3 at a time.
Cover and refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Bring the 2-3 quarts of chicken stock you are using for the soup to a boil.
Using hands moistened in ice water, shape matzo mixture into balls (each about 2 inches in diameter).
Drop matzo balls into boiling stock. Reduce heat to low; simmer covered until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Portion into bowls and serve.
