Notes

Transforming these Ham Puffs into gluten-free delights is a breeze! Simply swap out the all-purpose flour with a trusted gluten-free flour blend. Brands like Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur have great options that work seamlessly in recipes like this. Keep in mind, each blend might have a slightly different consistency, so you might need to adjust the quantity just a tad. Once done, you'll have an appetizer that's not only flavorful but also friendly for those avoiding gluten.
