I have only been cooking Kosher for 4 years now, but my Rabbi (and father-in-law) assures me that ANY type of leavening is un-kosher for Passover. Any idea what I can use other than chemical leaveners?
Not sure, I might try leaving it out. The way this Honey Tart is made maybe – http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipe/honey-nut-tart/
According to the Lebovicher meshgiach (supervisor of kashruth):
“Personally, I have not seen yet the Kosher for Passover baking powder, but I see no reason why even the very observant should not use it. After all, it is 101% Kosher for Passover. It is the traditionalist who would not use it. There are two kinds of traditionalists: 1) The one who does not use any manufactured products, although some have exceptions like wine, matzoh and salt. Others more exceptions others less. 2) The one who would not use any product on Passover that his mother and grand mother did not use, including tomatoes). I can go on and on, but for now I will end here.”
The following are the kosher for Passover baking powder and soda, as listed in the “OU Guide to Kosher for Passover Foods”:
ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda
GEFEN Baking Powder and Baking Soda (Kenover Marketing Corp. Brooklyn, NY (Its the same company as Kedem wine)
V.I.P. MASTER Baking Powder
is there anything else that can be used as a crust? can’t stand macaroons
I would also like a sub for crust
These were amazing! I used a mixture of regular and cookies and cream macaroons (the new manischewitz line of macaroons are delicious – specifically cookies and cream and mint choc chip). I also baked the crust for a bit first because the first time I made them they fell apart a little.
I just made the passover lemon bars. They look nothing like the picture. Help – the filling sunk to the bottom and the crust came to the top. It made them very hard to cut because the lemon filling was on the bottom. What should I do to correct this and have them look like they are suppose too!!!! They taste good but do not look good and I had to ref rig over night so I could even cut them.
