Better-than-KFC cole slaw
The cole slaw sold in the fried chicken stores is too sweet for my taste so I’ve dialed back the sugar; the original/copycat recipe can be found here. Better-than-KFC Cole Slaw is superior to the original because it’s less sweet and syrupy, just good Buttermilk Cole Slaw like the Colonel intended. 6-8 servings.
Ingredients:
½ head green cabbage, about 1 ½ lbs
2 medium carrots, about ½ lb
1 T sugar
1 t Kosher salt (may need more; taste for seasoning after the slaw has cured a while
1/8 t black pepper
¼ c mayonnaise
2 T buttermilk
2 T milk
1 ½ T white vinegar
1 ½ T lemon juice
Method: chop the cabbage and carrot fine using your preferred method. (I use a mandoline with a shredding blade.) Mix dressing ingredients in a serving bowl and stir till sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage and carrot and mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Is the T= to a teaspoon or tablespoon?
T=tablespoon. t=teaspoon. There are some big numbers in this recipe, like the lemon juice and vinegar, because the Colonel liked to do things in a big way.
