Dad's Home Made Ice Cream image

Father's Day was never better for Dad than when us kids cranked the machine for ice cream: old fashioned, home made, hand-cranked vanilla ice cream. He really loved it with big, beautiful strawberries he grew on the farm. His 60+ year old recipe is posted but egg beaters can be substituted today for the eggs which are not cooked...

Categories     Ice Cream & Ices

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs (substitute egg beaters for safety reasons today)
2 1/4 c sugar
4 c milk
5 c half and half
5 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until very stiff. Add remaining ingredients and mix completely. Pour into a 1 gallon hand-crank ice cream freezer and follow directions of machine to freeze. It takes lots of ice, salt, and a long time to hand crank that machine. An electric machine may also be used.
  • 2. Serve with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or any toppings you like.
