Mashed Cauliflower

2 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and broken into florets
4 cups water
5 tablespoons of butter
1/4 - 1/2 cup of milk or cream
salt and pepper to taste 

Bring the water to boil in a medium soup pot.  Add a bit of salt and the cauliflower.  Turn down to medium heat and continue to simmer until the cauliflower is tender.  Transfer to mixer or mixing bowl. Add butter and 1/4 cup of milk/cream.  Mash or mix until smooth, adding additional liquid if necessary. If you want less of the fat, you can always replace the milk/cream with the water that remains in the pot after boiling the cauliflower.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Tonight I threw a bit of mild cheddar in at the end...and it was good.
