Tips

* To make sure that the matza balls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If the toothpick comes out clean, the matza ball is done.

* You can also bake matza balls instead of boiling them. To do this, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet and place the matza balls on the sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the matza balls are golden brown.

* Matza balls can be made ahead of time and frozen. To freeze matza balls, place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer the frozen matza balls to a freezer-safe storage bag. When you are ready to cook the matza balls, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour.
