If so, then their dough was probably mixed for more than 18 minutes ;). I know the Talmud says that anything after 18 minutes is considered leavened, though.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you make your own matzos I'd love to know your recipe! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286256611823567765.post-89903639908307951722009-03-11T14:03:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:03:00.000-07:00We don't use any flour or have it in the house dur...We don't use any flour or have it in the house during that week.

Do you remove all flours from your house as well or just the leavening agents? I have heard of people doing both and just wondered what your family does and what your take is on it, (if you don't mind sharing, that is!)<BR/><BR/>PS: Great post. Do you check soles of shoes and pockets, too? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286256611823567765.post-57161496540764977632009-03-11T09:55:00.000-07:002009-03-11T09:55:00.000-07:00I have never gone this far...and really need some ...I have never gone this far...and really need some help Jennifer!

Personally, we abstain from what we consider to be leaven, but we don't refrain from eating flour, etc... :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650192659014133164noreply@blogger.com
