Because of the concern today of
eating raw eggs, we now use a recipe that uses a cooked custard recipe
using cooked eggs. |

Homemade Ice Cream, by Maurice Metzger. Maurice won a signed
copy of my book, THE HEALTHY OVEN BAKING BOOK, Doubleday, 1999, by being
the first to correctly answer a contest in SARAH'S KITCHEN, a bi-monthly
newsletter from baking911.com. (To subscribe, send you
e-mail address). Congratulations, Maurice!
The contest was about ice cream.
Here are the questions and answers:
 |
|
What is the
number one ice cream flavor ?: vanilla |
|
|
Who invented the
ice cream maker: Nancy Johnson, first hand-cranked machine, 1843;
|
|
|
Name three
ingredients which go into making ice cream: sugar, eggs, ice, salt
|
Little did I know that Maurice is
an avid and expert ice cream maker. Here's what he has to say:
Nothing can beat homemade ice
cream. I have been making it since I was 9 years old. Am now 69. We make
it at least once a month. In the early years on a farm in North Dakota I
made ice cream using ice from the winter's icicles hanging from farm
buildings or chopped river ice. In the summer, I used ice from the
neighbors ice house. I remember using an old Hand Crank wooden freezer on
the farm and today have graduated to a (wooden) White Mountain 6 qt
Electric.
I grew up in a family of 11
children and my wife and I had six children. Now have 9 grandchildren,
have never found even one that did not get excited when they knew we were
having Home Made Ice Cream.
