Select a fine head of cauliflower, break off the outer leaves and tie it up in a piece of cheese-cloth. Plunge it into slightly salted boiling water and cook fifteen minutes. Make a sauce by cooking together 1 teaspoonful of butter and adding to them a generous ½ pint of boiling water. Stir until thick and smooth, and add a heaping tablespoonful of grated cheese (Parmesan is the best). Drain the cauliflower of every drop of water and lay it flower upward in a baking dish. Dust it with salt and pepper and pour the sauce over it. Strew cheese plentifully over it and dot thickly with butter. Brown in a quick oven and serve in baking dish.
