Instructions

Note: These are sort of made up, because I didn’t write them down, only the ingredients. These instructions are meant to be used with an old style icecream machine, that uses a bucket of ice and salt.

  1. In a pot over medium low year, combine 1 pint milk, half and half, 2c of sugar, and vanilla until just steaming. Stirring often to avoid scorching.
  2. While the the mixture heats, add egg yolks and remaining 1c of sugar to a bowl, whisk until light in color.
  3. 1 laddle at a time, add the heated mixture to the eggs and whisk. Repeat until half the milk mixture is combined with the eggs.
  4. Add heated egg mixture into the pot, stir to combine. Keep heating until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon and does not run when you wipe some off the back of the spoon.
  5. Remove from heat, chill in fridge.
  6. Once chilled, pour into container inside of ice cream maker.
  7. Surround ice cream maker with ice and add salt on top.
  8. Add enough milk so the container is ¾ of the way full.
  9. Turn on ice cream maker, chill according to ice cream makers instructions
  10. Scoop ice ceream into a container, freeze until solid.
