Vanilla Ice Cream

Modified from my ice cream maker's manual

2 cups sugar

1 1/2 tsp corn starch

1/4 tsp salt

7 cups milk

5 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 tbsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups half and half

2 3/4 cups heavy cream

Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt and milk in a large saucepan. Turn on over medium heat and stir constantly. Very slowly add the eaten eggs and continue to stir. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened slightly. Slowly add vanilla, half and half and heavy cream.

Pour into a large glass bowl and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or until chilled.

Pour mixture into canister and follow directions on ice cream maker.

This makes like 16-20 cups (I got 8 cups of custard out of 1/2 the recipe and then it expands a little after being made into an ice cream).
