Hi bboyzeez,

Could you use rice flour? It's wheat and gluten free and I'd be surprised if it wasn't nut free too. I used it as a coating when I made fish cakes last week and it worked out nicely. I think it's not so good for cakes or pastry - apparently the gluten in normal flour helps it to bind and because there is no gluten in rice flour it doesn't bind so well.

There's also buckwheat flour, which is wheat and gluten free.
