   Beat together eggs and oil in a bowl.

2. 2

   Add matzo meal, almonds, dill, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and 1/3 cup stock, stirring until blended.

3. 3

   Cover surface of mixture with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours.

4. 4

   Bring a 6-quart pot of salted water to a simmer.

   While matzo balls are cooking, bring remaining 6 cups stock to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.

9. 9
