Lick The Dasher Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
4 cup milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp vanilla
4 cup light cream


Directions

Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in the top of a double boiler. Blend
in milk gradually and cook over hot water, stirring occasionally
until mixture is thickened, about 12-15 minutes. Blend in a small
amount of the hot mixture into the eggs, then stir the eggs into the
rest of the mixture. Cook 4-5 minutes more, stirring constantly.
Chill custard (I chill overnight if possible). Add vanilla and
chilled cream. Fill freezer not more than 2/3 full. Freeze in
hand-cranked or electric freezer with a mixture of 1 part ice cream
salt to 6 parts crushed Ice. When mixture is frozen, the electric
motor grinds to a halt; the hand crank can no longer be turned.
Remove the dasher and repack the freezer with ice and salt -- i part
salt to 8 parts ice. Cover with a rug or blanket and let cream ripen
in the freezer for about 2 hours. Or pack into containers and
transfer to a home freezer for hardening.

Variations:

Butter Pecan - use brown sugar instead of white, and add 1 cup chopped
pecans, toasted or sauteed in butter.

Chocolate - add 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted, and 1/2 cup more
sugar to the basic mix.

Peach/Strawberry/Raspberry - Add to the mix 2 cups pureed, slightly
sweetened fruit.

Lemon - Omit the vanilla and add 1 cup more sugar, 1 cup fresh lemon
juice, and the grated rind of a couple of lemons. (I haven't tried
this one yet, but plan to soon!)

The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Closer to modern times, there are a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of that time.

During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site.
