Notes about this recipe

    These did not turn out for me, but that's probably down to user error, as I'd never made matzo balls before. My first mistake was to grind matzos myself rather than buying matzo meal. The ground matzos were not fine enough, so the balls had a very loose texture. It would also probably help to refrigerate the batter for much longer than 15 minutes. The matzo balls totally fell apart in the chicken stock and also soaked up an enormous amount of liquid. I went ahead and let them cook, then used a fine mesh strainer to remove them into one massive blob. We then took scoops of the matzo blob into our bowls, since they did taste very good - like the chicken stock itself. I doubt I'll ever attempt matzo balls again, but if I do, I'll look at other recipes to research how to get them to turn out right.
