Shape Matzah Balls

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village I removed our matzah dough from the refrigerator and I set a pot of boiling water on the stove. Now we're going to form our matzah balls normally you do this beside the stove and you form the balls and you set them right into the boiling water right away. But I'm going to do it here to show you now the best way to do it I like to use an ice cream scoop like this and it gives you a nice portion size. But if you don't have one of those you can use a regular spoon when you form the balls you need to wet your hands because the dough is very sticky, I'll show you with the spoon first. Take an amount like this about 2 tablespoons and with your wet hands you roll a ball, you don't want to stir this up because you'll all the air that you incorporated into the dough you will push out of the dough if you stir it up and it will become very, you'll have rock solid matzah balls. Wet your hands between each use and you can wet the scoop also and you make a ball like this, this is about a 1 oz scoop. And you will make these right beside the stove and drop them right into the salted boiling water, you want to use a big stock pot for the boiling water so that the water doesn't cool when you put the matzah balls in, it'll keep boiling when you put them in.
