Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Custard Base Recipe:

4 egg yolks
1/2 pint (250ml) milk
1/2 pint (250ml) double/heavy cream
4 oz (100g) caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Scald the milk (bring slowly up to boiling point in a saucepan).
Separately, mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick.
Pour into this the hot milk, whilst continuously stirring.
Then pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until the
custard thickens.
DO NOT BRING TO A BOIL OR IT WILL PROBABLY CURDLE.
When you can see a film form over the back of your spoon it's time to remove
the saucepan from the heat.
Set aside to cool.
This is the custard base and one you can use in many other recipes.
When the custard base is cold, stir in the cream and vanilla extract, then
transfer the whole mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
