Dove's Farm Gluten Free Plain White Flour. It's a mix of all sorts: rice, potato, tapioca, maize, and sarrasin. (I'd never heard of sarrasin before; Google tells me it's another name for buckwheat, which leaves me little the wiser.)

Ah yes, Dove's Farm flours are pretty good.

Buckwheat is, dispite its name, not related to wheat at all. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/) has more information in its entry about buckwheat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckwheat).

You can pick up both roasted buckwheat grains (which are pyramid shaped) and buckwheat flour from Daily Bread (http://www.dailybread.co.uk/camb/location.htm). You can use buckwheat flour to make pancakes by just adding water to the buckwheat flour; interestingly enough this is what they made the savoury pancakes from at Hobb's Pravilion when it was still a pancake place a couple of years ago.

Somewhat further afield, buckwheat pancakes (galettes) are commonly available in Montparnasse, Paris. Another good gluten-free basis for pancakes is chickpea flour.

A number of Indian sundries are made from chickpea - aka chana - flour as well; for example most popadoms and decent onion bhajis will use chana flour.
