Well, my suggestion would be to substitute crumbs from the rice bread recipie
sent to the list for the wheat based bread. i would have to experiment, but
you may also be able to substitute the rice bread batter for wheat batter
for crepes or blini as well. If you go to tubears.com, they have listing for
celiac recipe websites[and vegan and other allergies as well.]
http://www.javanet.com/~loehr/a/ricebred.htm is theoriginalsitefor the rice
breadrecipe. I have been playing around with it on my own, but i would
recommend you follow their directions to start with.

[quick refresher- soak 3 cups rice in 3cups water overnight with a tsp of
salt. blenderize it into a batter, mix in yeast and set for an hour to give
it the yeast risen taste, add 1 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder, pour into
well oiled baking pan and bake at 350 degf until testing wire comes out
clean.
