Has Anyone Made gluten-free Hamentashen?

I'm starting to crave them, and Purim is in early March. I thought about using my regular recipe and using Bette Hageman's Featherlight Flour mix for flour. I still struggle with the xantham gum - when to add it/when not to/how much if I substitue the flour mix for regular gluten flour. I'd love a good hamentashen recipe if anyone has one. Cherry hamentashen or apricot....yum!

I don't have a recipe for you--but I wanted to say OMG hamentashen!!!! I do miss that. There is a bakery here in South Jersey that makes the absolute best--blueberry was always my favorite :rolleyes:

I love you! Thanks :D

DITTO! I am definitely going to make these next weekend when I have time. I'll keep everyone posted.

That recipe looks great - I'm going to have to try it. I still have a can of lekvar (prune filling) in my cupboard from two years ago, think it's still good?

Would it be okay if I share this recipe on the AllergicJews Yahoo group? (Open Original Shared Link) I would give you credit obviously... Let me know .... I'm sure all the gluten-free Jewish folks there would be real happy to know they can eat hamentaschen this year :)

OMG! I made them and they turned out great. I used Bette Hagman's Featherlight Flour Mix for the flour and it worked. I used cherry pie filling. I need to find out about Solo Brand Apricot Cake & Pastry Filling (contains "Natural Flavor"). It's so good to have something from my childhood again. My partner loves these and calls them "yummy-tashen!".

So good to hear that you made them and they turned out well! I copied the recipe, but haven't tried it yet--but now I definately have to get going on it.

:D yummy-tashen.

Finding this recipe almost made me cry. My 14 year old son was just diagnosed this December, so getting through all these holidays gluten free is new to us both. I can't wait to make him the hamentaschen, thanks so very much for posting it.

Next .. Passover. Any ideas or recipes? How do you sub for all that matzah meal in the recipes????

hockeymom Newbie
:rolleyes: Thanks for the recipe! Absolutely Yummy!!! They disappeared a day after I made them.

It's not my receipe, it's from a board member who doesn't post anylonger (GFDOCTOR). I can't imagine the receipe is copyrighted or anything as gluten-free DOCTOR posted it on our board a couple of years ago.

This year (5768/2008) it's Thursday night March 20th and Friday March 21st so it's time to bake hamentashen again!

I knew I could count on this website to get a recipe for hamentashen that doesn't rely on doctoring an overpriced gluten-free cookie mix. :)

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Purim! I used to love baking hamentashen :) This recipe looks great

Gluten Free Matzo Balls (Kneidlach) by Gluten Free Bay (she is vegetarian, gluten free, and Jewish)

Recipe uses almond meal and potato starch, optional flax seed, salt, mixed with egg. You can make almond meal by grinding nuts in a blender MUCH cheaper than buying it.

Gluten Free Matzo Crackers

GLUTEN-FREE MATZAH CRACKERS

Makes approximately 16 2 to 2-1/2 inch (5-6 cm) round crackers.

4 oz. (125 g) potato flour [starch]

2 oz. (50 g) ground almonds

2 Tablespoons olive oil

4 Tablespoons water (keep 2 teaspoons water in reserve)

pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to gas no. 8 (450 F, 230 C).

Mix together the potato flour, ground almonds and salt.

Mix the olive oil and water (less the 2 teaspoons reserved water) in a bowl,

sprinkle on the dry ingredients, and use a fork to mix to a dough (if

dry-looking, add the reserved water).

Knead and form into a ball (if at all sticky, dust the board with a little

potato flour) and roll out slightly thicker than matzah.

Cut into 2-21/2 (5-6 cm) rounds. Prick all over with a fork and bake at gas no.

8 (450 F, 230 C) for 10 minutes or until light brown in colour.

I realize you posted this a year ago, but I'm planning to skip any recipe that calls for matzah meal. There are plenty of potato starch based recipes out there. There are Jews, with no allergies or food sensitivities, are extra strict about Passover observance and cook without matzah meal. This means that they don't get matzah wet or use matzah meal or crumbled matzah in anything, and the foods are either made "without fillers" or are potato starch based, or use nut flour, etc. There are varying traditions about putting cream cheese or butter on matzah for those who follow that stringency.

Any kosher for passover foods that are labeled "no gebroks" are free of matzah or matzah meal. There are quite a few prepared foods (gefilte fish, sponge cakes, etc) that are "no gebroks" and therefore gluten free, plus plenty of Passover recipes that don't use matzah meal at all.

Did not make the hamenstashens, but purchased them at Grodzinskie's- made by "goodbye gluten" (a brand that is sold at a number of places including chapman's - on York Mills and Bayview) They are kosher. - Foxy.

I made the hamentashen from the recipe posted at the beginning of the thread, but with a few changes in the flours. They came out great! The dough was a bit crumbly to work with- but my daughters did the labor intensive part, not me. ;) They came out absolutely delicious, and my oldest told me that they taste BETTER than the wheat-based ones we received from other people!

      The test result will never be shown as zero because the most negative the result can be reported as is less than the lowest amount the test can detect.  For example, you might see <2. What is the normal range for your daughter’s test?  Antibodies can hang around in the body for a while. Even if her result is not yet in the normal range, going from more than 100 to 9 in a few months is great! Good job, mom.

      My daughter has been gluten-free about 4 months. Prior, her tTG was over 100 (test maxed at 100). Her liver, iron, vit d are all normal again and she has grown 2 inches and gained 4.5 pounds in just 4 months! It's amazing. But her tTG is still at 9. Is that normal or should it be zero? Is she still getting gluten? We are SO strict. We don't eat out.  She was previously having tummy pain still. I cut oats completely 3 weeks ago and that is gone.  Can gluten-free oats raise tTG? Would I know based on symptoms? I was going to try her on oats again now that she doesn't say her tummy hurts anymore.  Also, our house is gluten free apart from one loaf of bread my husband uses. He makes sandwiches on a plate then puts it in the dishwasher. Yesterday when my celiac kids weren't home, my youngest and I ate "real" pasta. I was SO careful. All pans went in the dishwasher, I didn't spill any, I cleaned the sink I drained it in. Today my girl has her dermatitis herpetiformis rash back and had a huge hour long meltdown then fell asleep. Just like before diagnosis. Is it that hard to avoid cross contamination? Will one crumb off the plate or me cooking pasta when she's not home get her?  Again, we do not eat out, she's not in school yet, and she doesn't eat anything I don't give her.

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.
