Vinegar Boiled Slaw

Shared with unknown.com by Jeannie

I have loved this recipe of my Mom's for 25 plus years.

2 teaspoons butter
2 eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper ( hah - I love it so I add more)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
1 diced green pepper

Beat eggs lightly with sugar.  Add mustard, salt and pepper. Mix lightly. Add vinegar and butter. Cook in a small saucepan over low heat stirring constantly. When it becomes a soft custard, remove from heat. Cool.

Add milk and chopped green pepper. Chill until ready to use. Thinly slice green cabbage. Pour dressing over and chill until ready to serve.
