Making the matzo balls

-
Add the matzo ball mix to the bowl.

Stir with a fork until just evenly mixed. Do not over mix.

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. You want this mixture to be firm when you begin to form your matzo balls.

Wet your hands and loosely roll chilled matzo mixture into 1” balls. Make sure not to form balls too compactly or they will be tough.

- Serve and enjoy.
