Got an ice-cream insert for my mixer--today was my first attempt. My son came up with the idea of starting with the basics, with a request for "plain" ice cream. Not even vanilla, because according to him: "vanilla is a flavor". He's right. Also: Mom's a cheater. Some Notes: With ice cream this unadorned, try to find eggs & dairy as fresh and high quality as possible. Also: I use a 50-50 combination of fine maple sugar and "sugar in the raw". I used 4 egg yolks because that's what I had in the fridge. I imagine the ice cream would be delicious with 7 or 8, and also good with 0 or 1.
