Yum. These were amazing. Seriously, try them. They were light, fluffy, melt in your mouth perfection. I couldn't find the good camera, so I took some quick pics with a little one I have. The recipe was amazing, and I'm glad that I joined Daring Cooks for their very first challenge ever, because this was really fun =D. I had never in my life made or even tasted gnocchi before this, and boy am I glad I did. I followed the recipe the same as normal, and only substituted the all purpose wheat flour with a big mix of flours. I used about a cup of some leftover Bette Hagman's mix that I had laying around (6 pts rice flour, 2 pts potato starch/flour, 1 pt tapioca starch), as well as a lot of corn flour and sorghum flour.
With that said, here are my pictures:
All carefully shaped, don't want to screw them up!
And then they boil for a couple of minutes...
And take a nice little butter bath.
Then dive into my bowl and into my mouth.
Mmm... Enjoy =D
Definitely go check out all of the other Daring Cooks (especially the rest of the alternative ones) because wow, they made some amazing food!

I had fun making them too. Must admit I'm hoping that more of the cooking ones are like this ie not too hard on a gluten front as while I love the Bakers it can get a little depressing always struggling to get something anywhere near as good as the 'normal' bakers.
It seems that you really really enjoyed them (as I did) yes a simple and beautiful recipe. I like your pix. And with these gnocchi a simple sauce is best. Great effort of the 1st DCooks' challenge. Cheers from Audax in Ausralia.
Your gnocchi look beautiful! I was so happy that these gnocchi were so easy to adapt to being GF!
I like the consistency you got with the alternate flour - good job on the gnocci.
Thank you for your kind thoughts, Lauren. That said, your gnocchi looks just like Zuni's...wonderful job and mouth watering!
Great job! They look yummy!
Lauren you totally rocked this challenge! I loved them, too! Rock on for the first Daring Cooks challenge!
Very good job, I guess it's good to find some recipe that doesn't need to be modified.
I always admire how alternative cooks do each challenge.
Great job as usual Lauren!
You did a wonderful job making your gnocchi! I've been enjoying looking at all the variations on as many blogs as I can today.
Love the photo with the bite out of the gnocchi! Yours lookd delicious!
Glad you enjoyed the challenge
lovely gnocchi, i especially love the picture of them sizzling in the melted butter!
I'm really glad I was in on the first challenge too and I like the choice of recipe. I was familiar but at the same time really new. Potato gnocchi are old friends but this was my first experience with ricotta gnocchi.
It's great you are dealing w/gluten issues through cooking!!! and at such young age.
Congrats on completing the first ever DC Challenge! Your GF Gnocchi look like the regular version... Very nice looking.
Great job on the challenge! It looks like you got the texture just right!
I can only imagine how great these taste, Lauren! Thanks for sharing. :-)

These look so delicious! And I'm impressed at how you converted them to be gluten-free.
Your gnocchi look delicious! It's great that ricotta gnocchi are so adaptable for a gluten-free diet. Can't wait to see how you adapt recipes in the future. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Great job! They looks so fluffy!
Lauren, what a wonderful job! Your gnocchis look amazing! I can tell you had fun making these ones!
Thanks for visiting my blog and congratulations on your 1st. Daring Cooks Challenge!
Great job on the first challenge! They look perfect!
Glad you liked these so much -- I did too!
I also love that your gnocchi took a butter bath. Who wouldn't like that?
Your gnocchi look just perfect, great job on your first time making them! I love the 'butter bath' :) It's so neat to have participated in the 1st Daring Cooks event!
Your gnocchi look fantastic. Great job!
Looking good!
Great job Lauren! It's totally amazing to me how you are able to modify the recipe to comply with your dietary needs and still end up with the same delicious result. Good for you! Fabulous job on our first DC challenge!!
