I needed to make some G-F matzoh for my daughter's school Passover celebration, and this really saved me. Thanks for this!

I miss them too but my daughter's super egg allergic and I don't think they'd work well without egg (I sub for lots of things but not sure about this). These matzoh aren't as light and airy as the commercial wheat ones and sometimes they stay a bit leathery, so you'll want to make sure they're completely dry. A food processor or good blender should make quick work of turning them in to meal or flour. When I was making them last year I tried to do too much at once and ran out of time, so instead of rolling out the last of the dough, I crumbled it up and put it on the baking sheet. Matzoh farfel! I think this would work really nicely to make meal. -Cyndi P.S. Please post and tell us how they came out. Melisa, I have made matzoh meal out of it but I haven’t tried matzoh balls.

But you can make your own matzoh very easily and for next to nothing too. Bro:chandra, I think you have me confused with a vendor.

This is my first gluten free Passover and I am now sure how it's all going to come together. One question: can you grind up this matzoh to make meal? I would be so happy if I could still have matzoh balls! I am so glad I found this! This is my first gluten free Passover and I am now sure how it’s all going to come together.

I wish you every success with your Matzah baking! Best regards, Rabbi Reuven Lauffer I'm still waiting to hear from my Rabbi, but I'm guessing that it's probably the same. I'll see how well I do with these rules... Hi Cyndi – This is the answer that I got from AskTheRabbi.org:

I wish you every success with your Matzah baking!

Best regards,

Rabbi Reuven Lauffer

I’m still waiting to hear from my Rabbi, but I’m guessing that it’s probably the same. I’ll see how well I do with these rules…

Since they take 13+ minutes to cook, it would be very difficult to get it done under time if the baking time counted. I would be interested to hear what your Rabbi and others have to say.

I've sent the question in to my rabbi for clarification, but can it be easily done in 18 minutes?? I thought the rule was that it must be totally baked in 18 minutes, not just in the oven.

And that it runs upwards of $35 a box, plus shipping if you're not local to a retailer. I'm a do-it-yourself type of person when it comes to food (we're making our own gefelte fish again this year too) and especially when we save so much money. We use regular oats (since we're not celiac and don't react to the wheat contamination) so the cost for a box's worth is a couple of bucks. Use the certified gluten-free oats and the cost maybe goes up to $5 or $6. I'm sure the Rabbi has a lovely product, but my article is for those who want to make their own. It's not just economical, it's fun! -Cyndi Hi Benjamin, if you look at the article again, you’ll see that I already have a link to this site.
