Re: Does anyone know how to..

Here is a recipe, its like making a roux I believe, you have to cook the flour and butter, add the milk and then add the cheese

Cauliflower and Cheese

1 cauliflower, broken into large florets
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 slices lean bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons flour
scant 2 cups milk
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
pinch of mustard powder
salt and pepper to taste

Cook the cauliflower in salted boiling water until almost tender. Drain well & pour into baking dish.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan & gently cook the onion & bacon until the onion is soft, then spoon over the cauliflower.

Stir the flour into the butter in the pan & cook, stirring , for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat & slowly pour the milk into the pan, stirring all the time.

Return the saucepan to the heat & bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preheat broiler. Remove the pan from the heat & then stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Add the mustard & seasoning to taste.

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top & put under broiler until the top is golden & bubbly.
