I've been doing some Low Carb recipes lately. This one is very very good. I used fresh cauliflower and steamed it for about 10 minutes first.
Scalloped Cauliflower
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen cauliflower 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped 1 (12 ounce) package finely shredded cheddar cheese salt and white pepper 1/4 cup butter crumbled cooked bacon (optional) 1/2 pint of whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Open frozen cauliflower bags one at a time into a colander and run cool water over each to separate the pieces and slightly thaw, but don't use warm water. Spray large casserole dish with pam or butter it well and layer 1/2 of cauliflower across bottom of dish. Season with salt and pepper; then layer with bits of onion, thinly sliced pats of butter, and 1/2 of cheddar cheese. Repeat. Pour cream over top and place dish in oven. If dish is very full, put a cookie sheet under it to prevent bubble over in oven. Bake 45 minutes. Ten minutes before completion, add crumbled bacon if you opt to. Makes 10 servings

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and let stand in warm place until foamy. Place flour in large mixing bowl and add salt, rest of sugar, butter, eggs and sour cream. Add yeast mixture and mix well. Knead until dough is workable and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide dough into thirds. Lightly coat each ball with cooking oil and place in separate oiled bowls.

Roll out each piece of dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Spread nut mixture over top, leaving about 4 inches of dough at one end without filling. Sprinkle raisins (if included), cinnamon or nutmeg over filling. Roll as for a jelly roll, starting at end with filling and finishing at end with extra dough. Place in well-greased loaf pan. Prick dough with toothpick, cover with cloth and set aside to rise, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Lower heat to 325 degrees and bake 30 minutes more. After baking, leave poticas in pans for 15 minutes to cool, then remove and let cool on a rack. You can also substitute a poppy-seed filling, if desired.
