SC - Is Arrowroot Period?

[LrdRas@aol.com]

Not a dumb question at all Magdalena!  I'm rather red-faced for not checking 
the recipe.  For Passover you would omit the bread crumbs and use 6 T of 
matzoh meal instead.  Matzoh meal containing no levening agent of course.  
You _could_ use ground up matzoh in place ot the meal, just be sure it is 
ground up very fine!

>>>>>On a similar note, I am told that corn syrup is out for Passover, 
because corn can be made into bread >>>
No, corn products are out because they *appear* to rise (IE, get bigger when 
cooked)  Over the course of the Middle Ages a lot of rules were made called 
*minhag*  (custom) to assure that people would not break the basic rule.  
(It's called *Fences around the Torah, but let's not go there.. it's late)  
Anyway foods that *appear* to rise, ie, get bigger such as rice, beans, corn 
are not eaten during the Passover.

>>>I have a recipe that contains no inherently unkosher ingredients except 
that one.  Does anybody know if I could substitute simple syrup, or some 
other sugar
 product?>>>
What? Corn syrup?  If the item is intended as a sweetener, just substitute 
another sweetener.
