Old Fashioned Coleslaw
Years ago I found my grandmothers cook book. Inside was a recipe card for Old Fashioned Coleslaw and from the looks of it, it was a family favorite. Try this creamy classic coleslaw recipe and you'll agree that it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon margarine
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions
- In small saucepan melt margarine over medium-high heat; add flour and stir quickly to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute; stir in milk.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
