After making matzo balls for the first time, I started to think about similar ways to make brothy or light soups more substantial. With a little oil, flour, and seasonings of your choice, you can make these quick and easy dough balls to add some extra oomph to your appetizer or meal. Enjoy!
Prep time: 1 minute
Cook time: 3 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- about 1/2 c water
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil (more for a deeper fry)
- seasonings, to taste
- lemon juice, to taste
Method:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix flour, water, and seasonings in a bowl until you get a sticky dough- you may have to play with the flour and water ratios a little. Scoop a small amount of dough and roll into a ball using your fingers. Drop the balls in the oil, flipping after a minute and a half. Spritz with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve in soup or on their own with sauce.
Yields about 8 balls
