Refrigerate at least one hour. Beat the eggs well in a bowl. Add the 2 cups water and 6 tsp of chicken fat and mix well. Add enough matzo meal and salt to make a soft mass. Refrigerate at least one hour. Divide the matzo meal mixture into 8-10 balls of equal size. Flatten, then and place 1 tsp of meat filling in the center of each. Enclose the filling, pinch the edges together and form into balls. Place the matzo balls into the 3 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water and simmer 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Drain the matzo balls and place in a pan greased with chicken fat, cover with remaining 4 tsp chicken fat and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 15-20 minutes or until slightly browned. Serve with chicken soup. Serving Size: 8 Recipe by: : The Jewish Holiday Kitchen_ by Joan Nathan. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest Volume 98 #006 by lisamontag@juno.com (Lisa Montag) on Jan 5, 1998
