1 Small Cabbage, cored and thinly shredded
1 Stick Butter
6 Tablespoons Water
1 Pinch Nutmeg
1 Teaspoon Flour
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Melt half the butter in a heavy pot; then add the cabbage and toss until covered with the butter. Add water, cover and cook gently for about 20 minutes. By this time the liquid should be nearly absorbed, and the cabbage cooked. Add the nutmeg, the flour, and stir well; then add the rest of the butter and toss until melted into the cabbage. Add pepper if needed.
