Gluten Free Matzah Balls

Sorry, I did not get a better photo. Of course, if these are gluten-free, they have no matzah, at least no traditional matzah.  My husband uses oat matzah for Passover and it isn't particularly good. This year, Yehuda came out with a new matzah, made out of potato starch.  While, it does not qualify for acceptable matzah (from one of the list of specified grains), we think it is delicious.  I think it is the onion in the matzah that makes it so tasty.  I am sorry, we did not buy more boxes, and I may order it, online. I did make "matzah" balls with this and it came pretty close to the real thing.  I followed a basic kneidlach recipe and adjusted the amount of matzah meal to the right consistency.  It was a treat to have "matzah" balls on Passover, something we have not been able to do, in a while.

I serve these in homemade chicken soup and that makes a wonderful combination.  I could eat them plain, just as well. Kneidlach   (recipe comes from matzah meal package) (I tripled the recipe) Ingredients: 1 cup matzah meal 4 eggs, beaten 3/4 cup water   (I added 1/4 cup seltzer and cut the water to 1/2 cup) 1/4 cup Oil salt and pepper to taste Method: In a large bowl mix the matzah meal, eggs, water, seltzer, oil, salt and pepper.  Cover with plastic wrap a...
