To dress Cauliflowers. TAKE your flowers, cut off all the green part, and then cut the flowers into four, and lay them into water for an hour: then have some milk and water boiling, put in the cauliflowers, and be sure to skim the sauce-pan well. When the stalks are tender, take them carefully up, and put them into a cullender to drain: then put a spoonful of water into a clean stew-pan with a little dust of flour, about a quarter of a pound of butter, and shake it round till it is all finely melted, with a little pepper and salt; then take half the cauliflower, and cut it as you would for pickling, lay it into the stew-pan, turn it, and shake the pan round. Ten minutes will do it: lay the sliced in the middle of your plate, and boiled round it. Pour the butter you did it in over it, and send it to table.
