I thought the point was making it an alternative to flour and to lower cals etc, That recipe uses both and its sweet.... might as well skip the cauli and you would get normal batter correct? so that's pretty pointless i must say.

edit: or is that the point :laugh: set it aside an not use it? :laugh:

What's next? Kale waffles?

I'm gluten free and pretty desperate for pizza, so I might try the cauliflower crust, but I draw a line at waffles. Seriously, maple syrup and cauliflower have no business meeting one another.

Couldn't you make a pizza crust with rice flour? I realize gluten is what gives the crust the elasticity, but surely rice flour would be closer to the real thing than cauliflower.

Some people like myself can not even have rice flour due to a protein in the rice that the body can react just like it is gluten.

Muscle and joint aches and pains are no fun and neither is the digestive issues that accompany either.

No, I can imagine that is not fun. No offense was intended, I was just suggesting an gluten free grain.

No.

You can't replace the real thing.
