Ingredients

2 heads cauliflower trimmed into florets (do not use frozen cauliflower)
2 tablespoon bacon fat or butter
1½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the cauliflower florets into a colander and rinse under cool water.
Place them into a steamer basket and set into a pot of simmering water. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. I pierced mine with a knife to check, when it glides in without meeting any resistance the cauliflower is done.
Add the steamed cauliflower to the bowl of your food processor, or high-powered blender and add in the bacon fat, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides every-so-often.
Serve immediately or keep warm under foil.
