Boil until tender, clip into neat clusters, and pack—the stems
downward—in a buttered pudding-dish. Beat up a cupful of bread-crumbs
to a soft paste with two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and six of
cream or milk; season with pepper and salt, bind with a beaten egg, and
with this cover the cauliflower. Cover the dish closely and bake six
minutes in a quick oven; brown in five more, and serve very hot in the
dish in which they were baked.
