Well, if it does, I'll ask my mother-in-law and give them to you if she has any

As someone who works nights and sleeps days, I've never been able to sort out which meal constitutes breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Anyway, I like all three. My problem is that I'm stuffed after two medium-sized pancakes and an hour later I'm hungry again.

Miz Olive Bleu, I don't have access to my mom's cookbook right now (she's still writing it) I'm sure she has some type of "gluten-free" recipes for pasteries...[huh] I'll PM you sometime after I call her... may be a few days, she's traveling in Idaho and I'm in Europe...

I don't have a sweet tooth - can I have none of the above?
I'd prefer southern German flammkuchen (flame cake)
It looks like a pizza, but it's not: the dough is much thinner (you can almost see through it).
Traditional toppings are cream/creme fraiche, ham and onion.

Oh yum davidraphael, that looks delish. I don't have a sweet tooth either. I am very partial to a nice poached egg on toast for breakfast, if it comes with bacon, all the better.

It's normally available in Baden-Wuerttemberg/ the Black Forest and Alsace (where it's called flammekueche). In these regions, French and German cultures comes together because they literally border each other.
ooh, that sounds tasty. I feel like that now....

Olive, I've got a good recipe for Rye waffles (wonderful with cinnamon- so gooood) and a good one for Buckwheat pancakes. The rye waffle is something I adapted from the Allergy Self-Help cookbook, which I really recommend.
Rye Waffles
3 cups Rye Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cream or tartar OR 3/4 teaspoon unbuffered vitamin C crystals
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons oil
--- Ingredients below are optional, pick and choose (I recommend the eggs to make them lighter, if you can have eggs):
2 whipped eggs
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately. Combine and mix throughly. Add eggs and mix (if using). Load cup by cup into waffle-maker. Makes at least 4 large waffles.
Buckwheat pancakes (you can scale this recipe up easily):
1 cup white buckwheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup water (perhaps a little more)
1/2 to 1 tablespoon oil
(if you are making these as breakfast pancakes, you can add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.)
Combine dry ingredients, combine wet ingredients. Mix dry and wet ingredients together. I cook these in a little cast iron pan, which gives me a little square pancake. I save the extras and freeze them to use as bread. To freeze I put them into a air tight plastic freezer bag and I separate each one with a piece of wax paper. If you make them thin enough you can toast them (thin enough to fit in the toaster lol). But you can cook them on a grill just like regular pancakes.
As far as bread for french toast I do know that there are several brands of Gluten-free yeast breads out there. I like Ener-G's yeast-free bread, but I've never had their yeast breads (I can't eat yeast): http://www.ener-g.com/ I'm not sure if you can get them in Canada. I can tell you that their yeast-free bread is a little heavy, but it's the closest to sandwich bread I've ever found for my own diet issues.

You are welcome.
I really like the waffles, my husband does too. (He is a fussy eater!) Blueberries would be wonderful in them. The texture is more firm and grainy than white flour waffles, but I think it is more satisfying. If there is anything else you need (recommendations for products, recipies, etc.), I might have tried making something in that domain. Please ask! I am more than welcome to share because I know how hard it is. I also have tried a bunch of cookbooks, some better than others.

Before my heart attacks, it was waffles. Now eggbeaters French Toast or whole grain pancakes. But not many.

I love flammekuche! When I have made it I have used a pastry base rather than a yeast-raised dough like a pizza. I might have to make it this weekend again - it'd make my husband happy!

I love Pancakes, but the batter has to be made from scratch with real butter and buttermilk.
Pancake mix just doesn't do it for me.

Now, how did an ex-pat aussie living in London stumble across Flammkuchen?
There must a story

Not a very interesting one... I did a day trip to Calais with a friend and at the big Carrefours supermarket (where we were stocking up with cheese and rillettes) they had fresh chilled ones. I took one home and fell in love!
