I bought gluten free flour (not as easy to find then) to make him his own playdough. I also used it any time we did a cooking project, so he could be part of it. I ran into him and his mom just this week and we talked about the gluten free fad (she is particularly annoyed by it, although it does mean there are more gluten free products on the market now for those who really need them).<br />I kind of think if you squeezed every drop of water out of the cauliflower rice before you mixed the other ingredients in, it would make the texture less pancakey. I am not willing to try this, though. If you do, let me know if I was right!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-74975896230683303622015-04-05T00:08:41.188-05:002015-04-05T00:08:41.188-05:00It certainly did nothing to improve cauliflower, i...It certainly did nothing to improve cauliflower, if you already like it as is.

I have two cauliflowers in my fridge right now (I just picked up my produce box this morning). The 11 pans started to dissuade me. Then, I got to the ricer part. I don't have a ricer and, after reading your experience, don't feel guilty about that. I think plain-ole steamed cauliflower will be on my menu this week.

They do, however, look cheesy and delicious, and when you are on a diet, they would probably be a hit.

My family and I have many food intolerances and allergies from gluten (celiac), corn (any corn product), and dairy to tomatoes (my kids) and cabbage. We don't eat out much, and we don't eat much boxed foods, but we don't make bread from cauliflower either. I've been told it's good, but my gut reaction to the thought has always been "yuck!" - sorry. I do use expensive alternative flour, but I get the stuff direct from the factory for less expensive prices . . . anyone that is truly gluten free for a reason gets to know the best way to find less pricey, gluten-free options fast.
