Prepare the sprouts by discarding any coarse outer leaves. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross into the base of each sprout (this helps them cook more evenly). Pour 5-6 centimetres of cold water into a large pan and bring to boil.

Place the sprouts in the boiling water, cover and boil for 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain thoroughly and serve immediately, dressed with butter and seasoned with black pepper.
