This is the recipe my Granny has used for as long as I can remember. My brothers, sister and I would get so excited when Pop-Pop would get the hand-crank ice cream maker out. We knew we were in for the best homemade ice cream ever. No idea where this originates from.
Ingredients:
6 large eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups milk
2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 cups whipping cream
Directions:
1. Add the first 3 ingredients to a saucepan.
2. Over low heat, cook and stir constantly for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture gets thickened and will coat a spoon; cover and chill.
3. Add in half-and-half and the remaining ingredients to the chilled mixture; stir to combine.
4. Pour mixture into the container of an 5-quart electric ice cream maker (or hand-crank freezer for you die-hards).
5. Freeze following the manufacturer's directions.
6. Serve right away or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
