Like all foods normally containing flour, these dumplings are made with matzo meal at Passover in obedience to the Biblical rule against eating leavened bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chicken fat
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups matzo meal
  • ½ – ¾ cup mashed potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Beat chicken fat until white. Mix well with eggs. Add meal and potato, and enough lukewarm water to make a thick but workable mixture. Stir in the parsley, ginger, salt, and pepper, then form small balls the size of marbles and drop them into boiling soup. Boil for about 15 minutes.
