Cauliflower With Drawn Butter Recipe
Select a nice white cauliflower, take off all the leaves, and cut enough
of the stem off to allow it to stand well in the dish it is to be served
in. Put it into a saucepan, cover with boiling water, and when it is
nearly done add salt, as cooking it long with salt turns it brown. The
usual time to cook a cauliflower is about twenty minutes. Try it with a
fork, and if it is tender remove carefully from the water, let it drain
in a colander while preparing a drawn butter. Then put into a hot
vegetable dish, pour the sauce over and serve.
FOR THE DRAWN BUTTER.--Melt a large heaping tablespoonful of butter, and
stir into it a heaping teaspoonful of flour, let them cook together
without browning and add by degrees a cup of hot milk.
