The original title is simply Coleslaw. I added the 1940's as this recipe is for a request for coleslaw made with a cooked dressing. Since most dressings for coleslaw today are not cooked and this book is from the 40's I renamed the recipe to help distinguish it from today's typical deli fare. Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cabbage |
1 cup diced apple (optional) |
3 egg yolks |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 cup cream or 1 cup milk |
1 cup vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
3 egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1 beaten egg |
1 cup milk |
4 tablespoons vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Prepare slaw by finely shredding cabbage and crisping in cold water.
2. Then dry the crisped cabbage; combine with the optional diced apples if you are using them and add about 1/3 cup of either Slaw dressing or Cooked Salad dressing.
3. Serve warm or chilled.
4. If you prefer hot slaw Omit apples, omit crisping after shredding the cabbage and boil the cabbage in slightly salted water until tender.
5. Serve with either of the listed dressings while they are still warm and the cabbage is still hot.
6. To prepare slaw Dressing: Mix egg yolks, sugar, butter, salt, cream or milk, vinegar, and cayenne pepper.

8. Beat egg whites stiff and fold in.
9. Cook in double boiler until thickened.
