Baked Cabbage

1 medium-size head (green) cabbage
1/2 cup of water
2 tablespoons of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper (black pepper is fine)
1 tablespoon of sugar
 3 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of grated Cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut the cabbage into wedges and parboil in the 1/2 cup of water in a covered saucepan for 5 minutes.

Drain the cabbage and place in a buttered 2-quart casserole.

Sprinkle the cabbage with the flour, the salt, the pepper, and the sugar.

Dot the cabbage with the butter, or you may melt the butter and pour it evenly over everything.

Pour the milk over the cabbage and top with the cheese.

Bake for 35 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown on top and bubbling around the sides.


Note: The baking time will be effected by the depth of the baking dish.
