  13. If it falls apart, you need to add more matzo meal and if it does not rise, you can add another egg.
  14. You may roll all of the mixture into matzo balls once you are assure of the consistency.
  15. In a large saucepan, you can put the chicken broth over medium heat.
  16. Once it gets boiled, you can add the matzo balls.
