Hot Slaw.
Boil the cabbage in two waters. Drain, when tender; chop quickly, press out all the water, and put into a deep dish. Heat in a saucepan half a cup of vinegar, one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar, pepper and salt at discretion. When scalding, add a half teaspoonful of flour wet with water. Boil one minute, and pour upon the cabbage. If you have celery vinegar at hand, use for this dressing.
