Method

7 soļi
  1. For the pastry, rub the butter into the flour and salt, add the egg and water and knead briefly into a stiff dough. Wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
  2. Heat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan). Roll the dough into a strip about 5 cm wide and press it around the rim of a shallow 1.5 l ovenproof dish (ceramic or glass, not pewter: see Notes), so it stands about 2 cm above the edge. Crimp it.
  3. Bake the empty dish for 10–12 minutes, until the pastry has set and dried.
  4. For the sauce, bring the cream to a simmer, whisk in the flour-butter, simmer for 2 minutes and season.
  5. Arrange the cauliflower neatly in the dish and pour on the hot sauce until it just covers it. Scatter thickly with the breadcrumbs and dot with the butter.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
  7. Stand the dish on a larger platter to serve and garnish it as you like, for example with parsley and lemon.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the method is the book's: the cauliflower cooked "as just taught" (06-009); a rim of stiff dough built around a pewter dish and dried by the fire or in the oven; the cauliflower laid in neatly, covered with cream sauce or meat gravy, sprinkled thickly with crumbled wheat bread, dotted with butter and baked golden brown in a covered pan with coals; served standing on another dish, decorated as you like. Our pastry recipe, the sauce, the amounts, temperature and times are ours.

Pewter

pewter melts at about 170–230 °C. The book baked gently with coals; never put a pewter dish in a modern oven.

The name

poupeton is French, usually a dish baked in a mould lined with pastry or forcemeat. The book's version has only a pastry collar, to hold in the sauce and make the dish look grand.
