Passover Cheese Balls

By idocakes

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound cottage cheese, 1/2% fat
• 2 eggs -- separated
• 2 tablespoons sugar -- optional
• 1/2 teaspoon salt -- if no sugar
• 4 tablespoons matzo meal -- or more
• 2 tablespoons butter -- melted, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Beat egg whites till stiff. Mix cheese, yolks, and sugar or salt. Stir in enough matzo meal to make a batter thick enough to work with your hands. Fold in butter (if used) and egg whites. Let stand 1/2 hour.

Make small balls and drop into boiling water. When they rise to the top, they are done. Serve with apple sauce, sugar-cinnamon or sour cream.
