Matzo Meal

Eggs

Turmeric

Water

Directions:

1

Mix all of the ingredients together until evenly distributed (there should be no lumps)

Cover with waxed paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes

Drop balls immediately into a large pot of boiling water

Cook the balls for about 20 minutes or until done

They will sink to the bottom and then float back up to the top as they cook and the water returns to temperature

The balls should have expanded to be about 2 1/2 times their original size (about the size of a tennis ball)

9

Check to make sure that the balls are done by cutting in half

10

The center should look grainy and yellow

11

Remove balls from pot and use immediately or set them in a pot of cold water and let cold water run over them until completely cooled

Set them in cold water in the refrigerator until ready to use

13

They may be reheated either in the broth or in the water
