Preparation

Step 1
Cut the cabbage in half through the core. Place in a bowl of cold water and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Make the dressing by mixing together the flour, mustard, sugar and cayenne in a heavy saucepan. Add the butter and melt over low heat. Whisk in the yolks. Quickly add the milk and vinegar and whisk until combined. Stir until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and chill.
Step 3
Drain the cabbage. Cut in half again, core and thinly slice. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, dressing and celery seed. Season to taste with salt and more celery seed if desired.
