Cold Slaw (V. Moroso)

Ingredients

• 1/2 head cabbage, tender
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 saltspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• red pepper
• 1 teaspoon mustard, dry
• 4 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 egg yolk, raw
• 2 tablespoons cream

Instructions

1. Shave the cabbage very fine and place in a bowl. Melt the butter over hot water and mix it with the sugar, pepper, salt, red pepper, and dry mustard until smooth. Add the vinegar gradually, mixing well. Put in the raw egg yolk and beat it in hard. Cook until creamy but not too thick. Remove from heat. If desired, add the cream, though the dressing is good without it.
