Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

  • 3 cups milk

  • ¼ cup butter

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ cup cold water

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Put cauliflower into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover with water and bring to boiling. Cook cauliflower until just tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the final product will be mushy. Drain water.

  2. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the saucepan with the cauliflower. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent milk from scalding, about 5 minutes.

  3. Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch has dissolved. Add to boiling milk-cauliflower mixture. Simmer until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Check seasoning and serve hot.

Recipe Tip

Add more water and cornstarch if you prefer a thicker texture.
