Ingredients

4 eggs eggs
6 tablespoons olive oil
0.33 cup club soda
2 tablespoons club soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups matzo meal, or more as needed
4 quarts water

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until well combined. Then, stir in the club soda and salt. Gradually mix in the matzo meal to form a dough. If it seems too wet, add an extra 1/4 cup of matzo meal. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and form the matzo ball dough into walnut-sized balls. Gently drop the matzo balls into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the matzo balls are tender.
