I don't know, I might just skip them this year and practice when there isn't so much pressure with family. I just think it might have to be a matza ball free holiday. I love to cook but I haven't experimented with many of the different flours available since going g-f. Thanks for your site. I can imagine living off of it for passover and other holidays in the futureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-33801302624927566502008-09-23T20:17:00.000-04:002008-09-23T20:17:00.000-04:00AJ: Thanks for your comment/questions. If you're ...AJ: Thanks for your comment/questions. If you're making these for Passover and you are Ashkenazi, tofu wouldn't be an option because soy is considered "kitniyot" - Sephardi Jews do/can eat soy products at Pesach, though. I don't think kosher-for-Passover egg replacer is available. However, if this isn't for Passover or you aren't observant, you have more options. I have had very bad experiences trying to make egg-free matzo balls during the time I was vegan (before being gluten-free) - They have always fallen apart and had a yucky texture. I know people who've had better luck, though. You might try using extra potato starch and mashed potato to bind the kneidlach, or tapioca flour which is very "gluey". I think my potato kneidlach recipe (also on this blog) would work better without eggs than this "matzo ball" recipe would - It'd be easier to keep it together. You can also look up other vegan dumpling and kneidlach recipes (including ones that aren't gluten-free) to see if you can find out what other people use as a binder. In my experience tofu doesn't work well as a binder - But egg replacer, tapioca starch and potato starch certainly do. If you try it let me know how they turn out!ByTheBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-69340282571051915532008-09-23T19:58:00.000-04:002008-09-23T19:58:00.000-04:00OK. what if I need my GF matzo balls egg free as w...OK. what if I need my GF matzo balls egg free as well? should I just use tofu or Energ Egg replacer instead?

It might work out (if you try it please let me know!), but those mock matzot really do have a different texture than traditional matzo - Might as well skip the step of making matzo out of them and just use the ingredients in a different proportion to make matzo balls!

They're definitely not 2nd Avenue Deli matzo balls, but I enjoyed them.<BR/><BR/>Chocolate Lady: Yes, I'm about to stop auditioning recipes, too. The last one I intend to "audition" is a noodle kugel! And thanks for the reminder about flax - yes, of course, for Pesach they should be checked over and ground at home. For these I used pre-ground Bob's Red Mill flax meal since it's pre-Pesach and I'm not as strict about Pesach kashrut as other people are (yet).Glutenfreebay.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540548637197220308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-35173494415007700752007-03-27T16:07:00.000-04:002007-03-27T16:07:00.000-04:00This looks amazing!

I am not currently "auditioning" any more peysekh recipes, because I want to, you know, save it, even if that means a few surprises during the holiday.<BR/><BR/>I would just add that if you use flax, I would recommend checking the grains and grinding your own meal, same as with hemp.the chocolate doctor מרת שאקאלאדhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844956689807749316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-25822053574510275442007-03-27T14:34:00.000-04:002007-03-27T14:34:00.000-04:00Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this r...Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this recipe!
