Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 2 large egg yolks beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 16 oz packages deli style cole slaw mix
  • 4 medium chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Over medium heat in a medium-size heavy bottomed saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
  • Whisk in the vinegar. Over low heat whisk in the flour, lemon juice and seasonings. Whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. To the bowl add 2 tablespoon of the warm liquid whisking constantly to combine and temper.
  • Slowly drizzle the egg yolks into the vinegar mixture in the saucepan, whisking continually. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the stove top and beat in 1 cup of granulated sugar.
  • Beat for 2 minutes or until the dressing has thickened and is light yellow in color. Pop it into the fridge to cool completely.
  • After the dressing has cooled pour over the chopped coleslaw and green onions. Mix well. Let the cole slaw chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Mix well before serving.
