Cabbage Salad.
- 1 small, firm white cabbage, shred fine.
- 1 cup of boiling milk.
- 1 smaller cup of vinegar, also hot.
- 1 tablespoonful of butter, and the same of sugar.
- 2 eggs, well beaten.
- 1 teaspoonful essence of celery.
- Pepper and salt to taste.
When the vinegar boils, put in butter, sugar, and seasoning. Boil, and add the shred cabbage. When this is scalding hot, take from the fire. Pour the hot milk upon the eggs, and cook one minute, stirring constantly. Turn the cabbage into a bowl, pour over it the smoking custard, toss up and mix well, and set it, covered, in ice-cold water. Eat perfectly cold.
