Recipe for Cole Slaw that uses an egg?

My grandmother used to make slaw (or perhaps it was the slaw dressing) on the stove top in a little iron skillet. All I can recall is that the finished slaw product had vinegar, sugar and she somehow incorported an egg. Unfortunately, she is no longer living and this is one recipe she didn't pass on to me. Does anyone else know what kind of slaw recipe I am referring to? Could you help me out in sharing any recipes you have that may be like this one? Thanks!

    It is sometimes titled "Hot Slaw," or Pennsylvania Dutch Slaw. Or "Old Fashioned Boiled Dressing Slaw. The Dressing is a mixture of vinegar, sugar, egg, sometimes mustard all mixed together and cooked. Then you add the shredded cabbage to that and cook quickly so that the cabbage doesn't lose too much crunchiness. Or pour the hot dressing over shredded cabbage in a bowl.

    If you don't have dry mustard, use hot dog mustard instead.

    Btw, this recipe is not that easy to find these days.

    2 eggs

    2 tbsp. sugar

    1 tsp. butter

    1 c. vinegar

    1 tsp. dry mustard

    1/4 tsp. pepper

    1/2 tsp. salt

    Beat eggs. Add sugar, seasonings, vinegar and butter. Cook in double boiler until thick like custard.

    If you don't have a double-boiler, use a heavy bottomed stainless steel saucepan.

    The dressing part of this is probably a lot like it: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/sald-with-egg-d...

    That uses a microwave, but it would, of course, originally have been done on a stovetop
