Ingredients

2 cups Sugar

6 tablespoons Flour

1 teaspoon Salt

5 cups Milk, scalded

6 Eggs, beaten

4 cups Heavy cream

4 teaspoons Vanilla

Preparation

Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a sauce pan. Slowly stir in hot milk.

Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly until mixture has thickened. Mix a small amount of hot mixture into eggs. Add eggs to hot mixture and cook a minute longer. Chill mixture in the refrigerator. Add cream and vanilla. Pour into 1 gallon ice cream freezer and prepare as normal.

Makes four quarts, supposedly enough for 12 - 16 people.

For extra rich frozen custard use all cream and omit milk.**
