Matzo meal
Eggs
Oil
Salt
Pinch of sugar (estimate amount for more balls)
Mix together the oil and eggs. Add matzo meal, slowly. Add salt, sugar and baking powder.
Refrigerate for approximately 1/2 hour to thicken mixture.
Bring salted water to a rapid boil.
With wet hands, make balls the size of golf balls (to get ten, make smaller balls an you get more)). Drop them into the boiling water. They will sink to the bottom when immersed, but will rise. Cover. Lower heat to simmer or slow boil and cook for approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. The kneidlach are done when a knife goes through easily.
Poster's Notes:
I have made as much as 40 at once and they were just as light and wonderful as 10.
