Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Donna - You can use flour in place of matzoh meal in latkas. Matzoh meal is actually a bit more like bread crumbs...and you could use bread crumbs here too...it is what I prefer to use (depending on the time of year)! Happy latkas! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi Mel, I made them tonight and they were wonderful. I wasn't sure what the texture of matzoh meal was like but I was going to ask next if I could crush Matzoh crackers in the blender and use like bread crumbs. Oh, now I want to know how to make a Matzoh ball, my pal in grade school used to bring me one now and then in a broth and I remember I sure did like it...............Donna melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: Donna - You can use flour in place of matzoh meal in latkas.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 **I was going to ask next if I could crush Matzoh crackers in the blender and use like bread crumbs. Yeah - I think this is probably pretty much how they make matzoh meal! Donna, here's my favorite matzoh ball recipe...it makes enough to serve at least 6. 3 large eggs 1 cup matzoh meal 3/4 cup plain seltzer water pinch of salt & pepper a little fresh finely chopped parsley (optional...I like the color and flavor right in the balls...some people sprinkle it over soup when it is done) Beat the eggs, add s & p and parsley, pour into matzoh meal and mix with a spoon...stir in club soda. Cover and refrigerate for up to an hour. Form dough into balls no bigger than the size of ping-pong balls...I use a spoon and a hand to shape them (a bowl of cold water handy and dipping your fingers before each ball will make things neater). You should get about 15 to 20 matzoh balls. Your soup should be boiling before you add the matzoh balls...I use unchicken broth (can't remember the brand - I use it for egg drop soup too), I like the flavor combo with the balls...if I can't get it I use a veggie broth...nothing else just the broth. Add the balls one at a time to the soup, put the lid on and let it boil covered at least 15 minutes. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 You can buy a mato ball mix in the " ethnic " isle at almost any grocery store. The broth packet makes a " chicken flavored " totally parve base! Parve is " neutral; " neither dairy or meat. ===== > I made them tonight and they were wonderful.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Using plain matzo meal is much better than the mix in my opinion. I like to add a little dill and pressed garlic to my matzo ball batter. Yum. BTW, vegetarians should be aware that " parve " items can contain non- vegetarian ingredients. Fish, for example, is parve. Take care, Bobbi , Jiraph Wirpel <wirpel> wrote: > > You can buy a mato ball mix in the " ethnic " isle at > almost any grocery store.
