Best Barbecue Coleslaw

This recipe is from the all-new ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, 2006.  When I've served it, Emily has commented that it is pretty much like KFC's coleslaw - and it is good!

1/2 c sugar
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c milk
1/4 c buttermilk
2 1/2 T lemon juice
1 1/2 T white vinegar (I use cider)
1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
2 (10 oz) packages finely shredded cabbage (I cut a 20 oz piece off a head of cabbage and then shred it using my food processor)
1 carrot, shredded

Whisk together first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; add vegetables tossing to coat.  Cover and chill at least 2 hours.  Yield:  10 servings.
