Egg-free matzah balls?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #411 of 726 |
There seems to be a lot of folks on this board with gluten allergies, so I don't
know if anyone
will be able to help me out.

Fortunately, gluten is not an allergy that I have to deal with. But I've been
wholly unsuccessful
in finding an egg-free matzah ball recipe that doesn't have the texture of
paste. I've tried
steaming, poaching, baking and some combination of these methods to cook them.
And I've
tried tofu and Ener-G as a replacement for the egg, which -as near as I can tell
- is supposed
to not only bind but puff up the matzah balls.

Does anyone have any ideas that work to make the matzah balls bind together but
not come
out like wallpaper paste? Maybe a soda water combo with something that I can't
begin to
imagine?

Thanks!

P.S. We're egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free and seafood-free in our house.

PLEASE share if you come up with something. I've used GF Bay's matzo recipe inthe past, but haven't rentured to matzo ball soup, largely because potatoes and I...

Honestly I haven't, since I have a small thyroid and sometimes soy can set off issues for me. I try to be really careful with soy. I can ask my mom though what...
