What each ingredient does
- Matzoh meal
- Forms the main body of the rolls, absorbing liquid to create a dough.
- Eggs
- Bind the mixture and add structure and richness as they set in the oven.
- Oil
- Adds fat for a tender texture and moisture in the finished rolls.
- Water
- Hydrates the matzoh meal so it can form a workable dough.
The step that matters
Chilling the mixture until it hardens. The mixture must firm up enough to hold its shape when formed into balls. Matzoh meal absorbs liquid slowly, so chilling lets it hydrate and stiffen before shaping.
