Pride goeth before a ball
Well, given that I had to boast about my matzo ball recipe before I had finished making them, you knew that the Hubris Gods would have to take notice, didn't you?
Of course you did. But you just let me go on and on . . .
I blame society.
It's the first time I've ever made them for a seder - my cousin Janet's. I had to quadruple my usual recipe, which is probably where the trouble started. Are they light and fluffy? Of course not. Let's just say they're al dente.

Some people like their balls hard :) Pun aside, it's true. There are two camps -- the fat and fluffy (like the ones you get at a diner) or the small and rock-like (the kind moms usually make). Happy Passover!

I like my Matzoh Balls a bit more on the firm side. Too light and fluffy and they just disintegrate. As for the debate... hard balls?... soft balls?... I feel I am the Rodney King of the Matzoh Ball issue... Why can't we all just get along???
