Penny's Coleslaw

8 cups cabbage -- finely chopped
1/4 cup carrots -- finely chopped
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Be sure that the cabbage and carrots are cut into fine pieces, about the size of rice. Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Add the cabbage and carrots and mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.


NOTES : This is suppose to be the Kentucky Fried Chicken's recipe. A dear friend who's new and inexperienced daughter-in-law didn't know what to cook for a family potluck was told to go to KFC and buy their coleslaw. Bring it home and put it in a dish and sprinkle some paprika on top and no one would know it wasn't homemade. She even fooled her husband who insisted Penny bring coeslaw to every function because she made it so good. Hence the name, Penny's coleslaw.
