Stewed Cauliflower

Soak in cold Choose those that are close, fine and white. Pick off the outer leaves and break the flowerets apart. Soak in water a half hour. Put them in a piece of cheese cloth, and then into a kettle of boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt, and boil for twenty minutes. When done lift them out carefully without breaking, and lay in a colander to drain. Toast squares of bread, butter them while hot, arrange the cauliflower neatly on them and serve with Cream or sauce Hollandaise.
