OLD-FASHIONED HAND-CHURNED VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk to combine the sugar, salt, yolks and vanilla seeds until completely smooth. In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the cream and milk and cook until small bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan and the mixture is hot. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a large bowl. Place the bowl in an ice bath and cool the custard, stirring occasionally. Store the custard into the refrigerator until ready to churn.
• Place the custard in an ice cream maker and process until smooth and thick, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the ice cream to a quart container or 1 1/4-quart dish and freeze for 2 hours.
• Serve the ice cream topped with some Wet Walnuts.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, corn syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla and salt, and bring to a boil. Pour over the walnut halves and cool. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

MALTED VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• To make the ice cream base: Stir the gelatin into 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl; Set the mixture aside (this will bloom into a semi-solid state).
• Heat 2 cups of the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When the milk begins to steam remove it from the heat. And stir in the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
• Put the malted milk powder into a blender. Add 2 cups of the cold milk. Blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula. (If there's no blender handy, just beat the malted milk well into the milk until there are no lumps).
• Pour the malted milk mixture into the ice cream maker. Add the heavy cream and stir. Stirring constantly, mix in the hot milk and gelatin mixture. Add the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• To freeze the ice cream: Assemble the dasher, position the can lid, put the can in the tub and secure the crank assembly. Turn the crank to make sure everything is put together correctly.
• Find the little hole in the side of the tub near the top of the can. Make sure that the hole is open. Drop about 2 cups of crushed ice into the tub. Sprinkle the ice with 1/2 cup rock salt, evenly covering it. Repeat this process. Now someone should begin turning the crank, which remain in motion until the ice cream is frozen.
• Continue to add ice and salt in the proportion above until you have reached the top level of the can and continue cranking. In about 20 minutes the crank will become very difficult to turn. This indicates that the ice cream is done.
• Remove the crank assembly. Pull the can up a bit in the tub. Wipe the ice and salt from the lid and the top of the can. Remove the lid. Pull up the dasher and scrape it off with a rubber spatula. Most people dig in right at this point and enjoy the ice cream even though it is still a little soft. Others like to remove the can and put it in a freezer (or put the ice cream into smaller containers) and harden the ice cream for a few hours before eating.
