Boiled Cauliflower (Plain)
Pick off the outside leaves, cut the stalk one inch from the head, split, wash thoroughly in cold water. Put in salted water for one or two hours before cooking. Cook in salted, boiling water (milk added to the water will keep it white). Boil till tender; remove from the fire; let stand in same water till ready to serve. Drain, serve with cream, butter, or egg sauce poured over.
