When thinking of the summers, the first thing that comes to mind is a creamy scoop of ice cream. The old-time custard ice cream is made by making a classic custard and then freezing it.
Take a large, heavy saucepan and mix sugar, salt, and flour in it. Make this mixture smooth by adding milk to it. Cook this over medium flame and stir it until it becomes bubbly and thick.
Now, reduce the flame to a minimum and cook it for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs with a small amount of the hot mixture. Add this to the pan and whisk constantly. Bring this all to a boil and cook it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove this from heat immediately.
Transfer this to a large bowl after placing the bowl on a pan of ice water. Stir it gently. Press the surface of the custard with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Add cream and vanilla to the custard. Fill ice cream freezer cylinders with two-thirds of their capacity and freeze them as per the manufacturer’s direction. Transfer the contents to the freezer containers and allow some headspace for expansion. Freeze it for 2-4 hours till it gets firm.
Repeat till you freeze the whole ice cream mixture.
