It worked! It worked, it worked, it worked, it worked!!!!!!

One thing I've seriously missed since going gluten-free is pierogies. My mother-in-law had a recipe for them, and I've been wanting to adapt it to a gf-version for some time now.

Today was that time.

The only substitute I had to make was for the flour. Now, that's always a tricky part. I decided for this first batch, I'd try something simple: Living Without's basic all-purpose gf flour blend: 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 1/4 cup cornstarch. I had to make 5 cups worth (easy enough when the recipe makes one cup), and then add 2.5 teaspoons of xanthan gum for elasticity. The rest of the ingredients stayed the same.

Matt and I were worried. Very rarely has one of our gf-conversions worked on the first try.

This did. They boiled well, didn't separate more than expected, and actually tasted and felt like pierogies!!

I am thrilled!!!

.....now to boil 32 more.....
