2 tablespoons	30ml	Flour
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Milk
4 cups	584g / 20oz	Cabbage* - coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Salt

Recipe Instructions

*5 cups if needed

Salt and cook the cabbage with very little water until tender. Drain well. Grease a baking dish. Alternate a layer of cabbage, a layer of grated cheese (a mixture of longhorn and processed), and then a layer of white sauce. Top with a layer of cheese and sprinkle with cornflake crumbs. Bake at 350F until the ingredients are heated through and the cheese is golden brown.

Serves: 6

Make medium white sauce by melting butter over low heat, adding flour, and cooking a few minutes. Add milk and stir constantly until thickened (about 10 minutes).

HISTORICAL NOTE: Mrs. Annetta Howard's Boarding House sits just across the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Rowlesburg, WV, once an important railroad center. Mrs. Howard came to Rowlesburg with her doctor-husband, who set up practice while she busied herself running the hotel and dining room. She is still there serving home-cooked meals, but appreciates a call in advance, if you are coming.
