Cauliflower Waffles

Actually... it seems like it might be pretty good... a nice savoury waffle.....damn I'm hungry.....

Honestly that first cauliflower recipe sounds good, it sounds like traditional potato cakes, which is a dish Grandma used to make. They are spicy, hearty, and wonderful. Cauliflower could add an interesting dimension.

Dont act like a two year old and turn up your nose at food when you havent even tried it. It might be wonderfully delicious, or, it might taste like total *kitten*. But YOU dont know.

Lol, so would you try this?

I love waffles. I just see no need make a substitute for them, IF one knows how to control their calories.

Everyone doesn't substitute for the sake of calories. There are people like myself that are gluten intolerant and have celiac disease and gluten found in flour for waffles, pizza, bread, etc makes us sick, very, very sick.

YOU would be the last person I would expect to see making fun of someone that can't have gluten due to allergies and such. Shame on you.

If I saw that my trainer had pulled something like this, I would drop them so fast and find a way to notify all of his / her customers of what a jerk they were.

Really, where have I made fun of people who are gluten intolerant? I haven't. It's the people who are trying to SAVE CALORIES that the parody (like others have) is about.

The fact that you posted this topic in the first place.

I don't find it amusing to take and make a topic just to mock people.

Haters have inspired me to create a cauliflower latke.

Maybe cauliflower/potato/chickpea curry breakfast patties? Add a little mango chutney and you've got a delicious healthy gluten free breakfast!

or this:

Chickpea flour pancakes with cauliflower and ****ake mushrooms! http://www.veganricha.com/2013/05/chickpea-flour-pancakes-with.html

I can't believe that it actually bleeped out ****ake! hahaha! Shiitake!

This is like the Banana "pancake" argument...Some people (me included) cannot have regular pancakes..I get annoyed at people that don't take that into consideration. I love the fact I can have can have them and not worry about getting sick!


Also i just wanted to add the fact that the recipe you posted was for savory...I don't see whats wrong with a cheesey savory cauliflower waffle! It actually sounds quite good-different but good...but If it was sweet defiantly be scratching my head saying :noway:

Cauliflower Waffles

One head of cauliflower
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Cut up cauliflower set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.

4. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

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.
