Knaidlach
by Food-Freak
Also known as Matzo Balls, they are usually served in soup like a dumpling. But they can be served so many different ways. My favorite is to chill them overnight, slice them thick and then fry the slices in olive oil.

INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Beat egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks, water, and olive oil with a fork until well blended . In another bowl, mix the matzah meal with the spices. Alternately gently folding egg yolk mixture and matzoh meal mixture into egg whites to form a light, firm dough. Cover and chill for 1/2 hour. Wet hands and form balls from the dough that are about the size of a walnut. Drop balls into boiling chicken soup, chicken stock, or water (depending on your use of the knaidlach). Cover the pot tightly and simmer on low for 1/2 hour. Don't uncover the pot while cooking as this can cause the balls to fall..
Matzah balls can be stored for two days in their cooking liquid in a covered container in refrigerator. Reheat gently in their cooking liquid. Then strain and serve balls in hot Matzah Ball Soup.
*For an increase in flavor and texture, substitute olive oil for Schmaltz (rendered chicken fat), which can be created while making chicken soup from scratch.
