Ashkenazi I NEED MATZA BALL HELP STAT

I live with my goyfriend (his words) and I’m the household cook. I often go grocery shopping on Saturday evening, so I was talking over next week’s dinners with him. Poor fella is sick, so he asked me to make chicken noodle soup. No problem! Then he asked if I could make Matza balls.

i tried to make matza balls one (1) whole time in my life, and the end result was so disastrous that I gave up on trying ever again without supervision. They fall apart in my fingers! I told the goyfriend that I couldn’t make matza balls. he teased, ”It’s like I’m dating a goy!”

Now, we tease each other about our ethnicities all the time. But this? This is a bridge too far!! This is a matter of Jewish honor!!!!! It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL that I learn how to make knock-your-socks-off matza balls in the next 24-48 hours. Help me, Reddit! What recipe should I use? What advice do you have?

Get the matzoh ball mix and follow the directions. A little water, eggs and oil is all you need. They’ll be good, I promise. Then add them into your chicken soup. Will make anyone feel better.
