My family had a two-hand crank ice-cream machine when I was young. We three kids took turns cranking until the ice cream began to harden, then Dad finished it. We tried many recipes, but Dad always liked this one the most. —Diane Shaw, Gnadenhutten, Ohio

This is BY FAR the most excellent homemade recipe I have ever used!! I am very impressed because I have been searching for years for a "creamy" style ice cream! Wonderful!! Thank you!!

GREAT recipe! Easy enough to make. I made the first quart plain, the second quart with mini chocolate chips, and the third with mini reeses peanut butter cups (at the request of my son). I love this because there is no need to worry what the ingredients are compared to what is bought at the store. The add-in ideas are endless!

Never used flour in my ice cream mix but this was great. barnett1234, you must not overfill your ice cream freezer, read the directions that come with the unit and follow them as the recipe states. My freezer makes one quart at a time so I would divide the mixture in thirds. Hope this helps.

This is my new standard ice cream recipe. I actually added a packet of Wylers sugar free lemon aid mix to this and it made the best lemon ice cream ive had since I was a kid!

I had wanted to use this recipe for a church group, but am reluctant to do so. The third bullet is very confusing and I do not understand it. What are you talking about "the remaining mixture"? Why is all the mixture not poured into the freezer. Please clarify the obscurity of this 3rd paragraph.

I made more than one batch to try. My favorite ice-cream is Vanilla and I also remember the days when you turned the crank to have home-mnade ice cream.I made one batch with the Vanilla Recipe in another batch I broke up semi-sweet chocalate in a blender and poured it in as I started the freeze process and the mixing blade did a good job of mixing it. In the third batch I mixed in Strawberries. I mashed the berries and put sugar on them and let them sit for awhile and then poured them into the mixture as the cream started to freeze up and let the mixing blade finish the combining. That way it was not oe mixed. All three turned out great. I tried it out on my son and his family and from the way it disappeared I would say they really liked it. So much so I had to give up the recipe and explain how I did it. I don't use a hand crank anymore though I have an electric one. There was a recipe book in the mixer when I bought it years ago and all you have to do is follow the instructions for freezing. They still come with the booklet. Son bought one the next day at a well know variety store.

The third bullet of Directions is impossible to understand but I would like to do the recipe.
