DRESSING
COLESLAW
In a small saucepan, beat the eggs thoroughly,' add the sugar, flour, salt, and mustard Combine the vinegar and the water and beat into the egg mixture, then add the butter or oil. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thick, about 5 to 8 minutes. The mixture will become very lumpy-looking (not to worry),' beat it to smoothness. When very thick, remove from the heat and beat in the cream or milk. Cool. (This can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.) In a large bowl, combine all of the coleslaw ingredients. Add the cooled dressing and toss lightly to coat with the dressing. NOTE lf you'd rather not make a boiled dressing, you can make a reasonable substitute by combining I cup commercial mayonnaise, /2 cup sugar, and ¼ cup cider vinegar; pour over the slaw ingredients and toss.
