Coleslaw, similar to KFC

Grate the white cabbage. Add the grated carrots and ground caraway seeds, cover, and let stand for about 20 minutes. Heat the vinegar while stirring in a bowl, then combine the flour and sugar. Then grind the mustard seeds and add them to the mixture. Once the vinegar is hot but not boiling, add the butter and let it melt. Then add the cream and remove the pan from the heat. Slowly add the flour and sugar mixture and stir vigorously. Once everything has combined to form a smooth, creamy mixture, stir for about 2 more minutes, then set aside. Be careful not to let it burn, or it might taste bitter. Crack two eggs into the used bowl and whisk. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the warm dressing to the eggs, continue whisking, and then add everything to the dressing without letting the eggs curdle. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly. If necessary, place the salad back on the hotplate while it is still warm and stir. The mixture should have a creamy consistency. If any water has settled in the cabbage, drain it. Now add the mayonnaise, sour cream and dressing to the salad and fold everything in evenly. Add a little salt and pepper, stir again and put in the fridge for three hours. After the initial resting period, toss the salad again and season to taste. Anything goes here. Once that’s done, put it back in the fridge for another three hours. The longer it can sit, the better it will be. Mix everything again before serving. If possible, the salad should always be kept cool because of the raw eggs.
