Ingredients
2 tablespoons chicken fat or vegetable oil
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup matzo meal
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons ice water
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill
Preparation
In a small bowl, combine chicken fat, eggs, matzo meal, and salt. Add the water and the dill; mix until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 15 minutes.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and drop 1-inch balls of chilled matzo mixture into water. Cover, and cook for 35 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. The matzo balls may be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
