- 1 head cauliflower, cut into large florets
- 1 head broccoli, cut into large florets
- 4 Tbs. butter (divided into 2 Tbs)
- 3 Tbs. AP flour or cornstarch for Gluten Free
- 2 cups hot milk

- Preheat oven to 375 (F). Meanwhile, cook florets in a large pot of boiling salt water until tender but firm (5 min), drain.
- Add 2 cups of milk in a saucepan. Meanwhile, melt 2 Tbs of butter in a second saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, making a rue.
