                               Vanilla Ice Cream

                         From John's Recipe Collection


Yield: 1/3 cup

* 1/2 egg yolk
* 2 tbsp. whole milk
* 2 tbsp. heavy cream
* 1 tbsp. sugar
* 9/32 tsp. vanilla

Whip the egg yolks while adding the sugar slowly. Continue whipping until it's 
smooth. Add the milk and mix thoroughly.

Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, 
until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should happen at 
about 165 degrees F - 170 degrees F. If the custard starts to fill with lots of
tiny flecks, you've cooked it too far - stop! Remove the custard from the heat
and cool to refrigerator temperature. Add the cream and vanilla. Mix well.

Freeze using your method of choice.
